Mejoramiento del diseño geométrico de la vía que une la comunidad de Ambatillo Alto con el cerro Pilishurco, con la finalidad de mejorar la vialidad en la parroquia Ambatillo, cantón Ambato, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The objective of this project is to improve the road that connects the community of Ambatillo Alto with Cerro Pilishurco in order to provide better roads for tourists and the local population that visit the natural viewpoint of the canton of Ambato; through the application of the MTOP - 2003 regulations, the horizontal, vertical and transversal geometric design of the road was carried out, including soil studies, topographic surveys, traffic studies, pavement design, and the preparation of a reference budget for the execution of this project. The traffic study was carried out in the field by means of manual counts and a TPDA of 243 vehicles/day was determined for a design period of 20 years, classifying the road as a type IV country road. With the data obtained in the soil studies, a flexible pavement structure composed of sub-base, base and asphalt layers is proposed under the application of the AASHTO- 93 methodology; hydraulic designs of ditches and culverts are presented, as well as a traffic study where the correct location of both vertical and horizontal signage is shown. Finally, a referential budget is calculated with its technical specifications and volumes of work according to the activities to be executed in the construction process of this project.
