Erosion is a natural geological phenomenon that occurs in the upper layers of the Earth, but can be accelerated by man especially when used improperly. A large loss of soil by erosion occurs on the dirt roads that was diagnosed in the Campo de Instrução de Santa Maria (CISM) where training occurs with armored vehicles and other large area. This study aimed to understand and to set the erosive processes on a dirt road located in CISM and how specific objectives sought to understand how the area used, the type of material involved and its resistance to the process erosive using for this test of physical characterization and erodibility. The results of this study may contribute to the maintenance of roads CISM. This research began with a literature review on the topic, fieldwork for recognition of the area, for description of erosional features and gathering of samples for be tested through test physical characterization and erodibility. The sampled points of the road were: the Crust, E2, E6 and E7, and the horizons B and C of the borrow pit. The tests of the erodibility were performed with the samples E2 , E7 and Crust and compared to data obtained by Sant Ana, 2012. The road lies over an area of alluvial terrace where if find argisoil. The road crosses a flat-topped hill with NW-SE direction. Were described in place, ridges and ravines related to lack of drainage, the presence of compacted layer (crust) with mud crack, alcoves of the regression, ducts and pot erosion. Geotechnical tests confirm the fragile nature of local soil, reaffirming human action a accelerator of the erosion in the area. / Erosion is a natural geological phenomenon that occurs in the upper layers of the Earth, but can be accelerated by man especially when used improperly.

A partir disso, as ações humanas vêm modificando o relevo em ambientes rurais, tanto para fins de agricultura como de pecuária. A fim de colaborar com os estudos que visam compreender os mecanismos de desenvolvimento de feições erosivas lineares e sua interação com agentes antropomórficos, teve-se como objetivo desta pesquisa apontar o potencial ao avanço erosivo linear de feições localizadas em uma bacia hidrográfica alocada no setor cuestiforme de Analândia (SP). Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, utilizaram-se as orientações de Mathias (2016), realizando o levantamento de diversas variáveis (granulometria, infiltração, resistência do solo à penetração, permeabilidade, declividade, fluxo acumulado de superfície e uso da terra) para formulação de cartas de síntese, as quais foram validadas a partir das áreas de ocorrência de feições erosivas e a partir dos dados de evolução do talude de uma voçoroca. Para validação, pautou-se na hipótese de que as classes com alto potencial ao avanço erosivo deveriam ter uma boa correspondência com os setores de maior concentração de feições erosivas e maior evolução do talude. Assim, tal sistemática permitiu identificar o setor central da bacia como uma zona de concentração de feições er...

From this, human actions have been modifying the relief in rural environments, for agriculture and livestock purposes. Seeking to collaborate with studies that aim to understand the mechanisms of development of linear erosive features and their interaction with anthropomorphic agents, this research goal was to indicate the potential to linear erosive rise of features located in a watershed located in the cuestiform sector from Analândia (SP). For the research development, it has been used the guidelines of Mathias (2016), performing the survey of several variables (particle size, infiltration, penetration resistance, permeability, slope, accumulated surface flow and land use) for the formulation of maps synthesis, which were validated from the areas of erosive features and from the evolution data of a gully erosion. For validation, it was based on the hypothesis that the kinds with high potential to erosive rise should have a good correspondence with sectors in higher concentration of erosive features and larger slope evolution. Thus, this systematic allowed to identify the central sector of the watershed as a zone of concentration of linear erosive features, which constitutes a transition area between the more resistant clay soils (to the no...
