    This degree project aims to analyze the ability to maintain moisture and the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of a non-cohesive soil with the application of different percentages of sodium chloride. In order to achieve this objective, specific guidelines have been followed, leading to the final results. First, the material was identified and acquired from a quarry in the La Paz sector, Las Nieves parish, belonging to the Nabón Canton in the Azuay Province. The material was then characterized by performing the following tests: Granulometry, Atterberg Limits, Direct Shear, Standard Proctor, Permeability, and CBR. Subsequently, moisture and CBR tests were conducted by adding 0 percent, 0.0043 percent, 5 percent, and 10 percent of Sodium Chloride (NaCl). In addition, a Direct Shear test was performed with a 5 percent since it proved to be the most optimal in retaining soil moisture. Finally, a cost analysis was conducted with the addition of sodium chloride. The CBR values with the addition of 0.0043%, 5%, and 10% sodium chloride is 38, 45, 38 respectively. Furthermore, the most favorable percentages of sodium chloride for moisture retention over the analyzed time are 5% and 10%.
