Abstract
This scientific poster presents a research proposal on slope stability along the banks of the Sahuanay River in the city of Abancay, an area of high geotechnical complexity. This proposal seeks to apply the finite element method (FEM) to evaluate soil behavior under critical saturation and hydraulic loading conditions. Through numerical modeling using the PLAXIS 2D and RS2 software, the safety factor (Fs), deformations, and pore water pressures will be determined. The results will allow for the identification of the most vulnerable areas and will serve as a basis for the design of mitigation measures—such as drainage systems, retaining structures, and bioengineering—aimed at reducing the risk of landslides. In short, the study aims to contribute to strengthening geotechnical risk management and sustainable land-use planning in the Sahuanay River basin, Abancay, Apurímac.
