Abstract

This research develops a methodology for the design and construction of modular defenses
using recycled tires, geogrids, and Chrysopogon zizanioides (vetiver) to control hydraulic
erosion in the Cahuachulla stream basin, Peru. The study evaluates the structural effectiveness
of tire-geogrid modules as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional gravity walls. The
methodology integrates bioengineering principles to stabilize slopes and reduce sediment
transport. Results indicate that the modular system significantly improves soil retention and
energy dissipation of water flow. The proposal offers a sustainable, low-cost solution for
disaster risk management in Andean basins, demonstrating that recycled materials combined
with vegetation effectively mitigate land degradation and prevent landslides.
