In Brasilia, there is a high incidence of problem soils in relation to the carrying capacity in its natural state compressed, known as porous and collapsible soils. In general, in the entire city area occur clay layers with low strength or load carrying capacity. In order to characterize the soil and its geotechnical properties was conducted a geophysical research with the method of electrical resistivity (dipole-dipole array), in an area where the installation is programmed for a solid waste separation. The results show three layers with different resistivities, for each layer has been assigned a quality factor of excavation to support civil engineering in recognizing and planning the sediment extraction and to find the basement for the building’s foundation and its depth.
