Implementación del proceso de conservación de la estructura de la capa de rodadura de la vía Ambato - Tisaleo en el tramo Huachi San José – Huachi la Libertad – Tisaleo de la provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The following detailed study aims to implement a process of conservation of the structure of the rolling layer of the Ambato - Tisaleo road in the Huachi stretch San José - Huachi La Libertad - Tisaleo of the Province of Tungurahua with the purpose of knowing In general, the state in which there is a way to generate data that may be used in the future and thus deepen research on the same subject and carry out other activities of assessment and road conservation that determine actions that allow the road to be in optimal conditions of comfort and safety for users. The starting point for the development of the investigation was the collection of field data, which consisted in carrying out a vehicular count during a week, twelve consecutive hours to obtain the Average Daily Traffic (TPDA). In addition, a record was made of the characteristics of the road such as the width, presence of sidewalks, ditches, wells, water passages and entrances to homes. Subsequently, a study was made of the damage of the tread layer with the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and to know the state of the structure of the track, the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Benkelman beam tests were carried out. Additionally, in order to facilitate the management and interpretation of the results, tables, graphs and topographic survey plans were made with the georeferencing of the results obtained.
