Abstract

The paper describes , one of the typical cases in the construction of subterrain works in - the city of Guadalajara , Jalisco; Mexico1 placed in a big landfill of pyroclastic materials , that ~re good aquifers that is why in the subsoil exists important hydrological resources and is the reason that when digging underground structures that exceed the groundwater level there were a lot of )roblems. The case presented is of one of the stretches of the tunnel for the urban electric train , :hat since its construction had failures; these are analyzed, the solutions implemented are descri-) ed , and the behavior of the structure is shown. It concludes that the problem were due to a project Jased on superficial studies that did not allow to detect the unfavorable geohydraulic conditions.
