The geotechnical zoning of the soils was carried out in Valledupar (Cesar) by collecting data in various soil laboratories and obtaining samples. The research database was created. The types of soils found were SC, SM and GW identified in all the communes of the city. The water table was found at a depth of 1.2 m. The document contains the necessary information for geotechnical studies of the area where it is concluded that the city can support building foundations of more than 10 levels, in areas with high percentages of gravel, and these areas will be the ones with the highest incidence when increasing coverage of aqueduct and sewerage networks. It is the first geotechnical research study through geographic information models in Valledupar, which indicates the generation of a technical and bibliographic resource for quick consultation.

Se realizó la zonificación geotécnica de los suelos en la ciudad de Valledupar (cesar) mediante la recolección de datos en diferentes laboratorios de suelos, además de la obtención de muestras por parte de los investigadores. Con dicha información se creó la base de datos necesaria para la investigación. Se obtuvieron gráficos para las diferentes características. Los principales tipos de suelos encontrados fueron SC y SM, así como también suelos GW que se presentan en todas las comunas de la ciudad. El nivel freático se encontró a partir 1,2 metros de profundidad. Desde el punto de vista del RAS, la presente investigación contiene la información necesaria para los estudios previos que dicho reglamento requiere. Se define que la ciudad puede soportar cimientos para edificación de más de 10 niveles siendo las capacidades de carga a los 4 metros superior a los 50 ton/m2, en zonas con altos porcentajes de grava, estas áreas serán las de mayor incidencia a la hora de aumentar la cobertura de redes de acueducto y alcantarillado.
