Abstract
The lake soils that were occupied by constructions cause serious geotechnical problems, but even more so they are linked to the self-construction, self-planning, and self-management of housing and its influence on poorly designed and poorly located support elements on the shores of the lake, in the city, from Puno, Peru. The objective was to determine which factors cause damage to the structures of a self-built house. Technical inspections were carried out on randomly selected homes with moderate and severe construction deficiencies, as well as characterization and dynamic light penetration tests in compliance with the technical standard E.050 and E.060 of the National Building Regulations of Peru. The results reveal that 60% of the interviewees were unaware of the studies and designs that should be carried out; In addition, it indicates that the houses present negative symptoms such as fissures and cracks in different parts of the houses analyzed, linked to settlement, humidity, and salinity, with consequences in the weakening of the foundations of the houses. It is concluded that there was negligence by the owners in the design and construction of the foundations of their houses, without technical direction and professional supervision with uncontrolled fillings and unreliable construction procedures, it is advisable to go to specialists to avoid future problems in interaction soil-structure
