Plan de conservación para la estructura del pavimento asfaltico de la vía Chipoalo – La Tebaida (parroquia San Miguel de Salcedo) en el tramo de la abscisa 0+000 hasta 3+500 de la provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

The present titling work is focused on proposing a conservation plan for the pavement structure of the La Tebaida - Chipoalo road. A topographic reconnaissance was carried out of the road using a total station, then a manual count of the vehicle volume was effected, with these data, the TPDA was obtained, classifying it as a highway. Soil samples were taken for each kilometer of road for the granulometry tests, Atterberg limits, Proctor modified type B and the California bearing radio (CBR), trials conducted on the FICM laboratories The Pavement Condition Index (ICP) method was used to determine the condition of the current pavement, and visual inspections examined the surface deterioration of the track. With the Benkelman beam test, deflections of the asphalt were determined to evaluate a complete and functional form of the pathway under study. Analyzed the results obtained on the basis of the established standards, It follows that the Chipoalo - Tebaida track is experiencing deterioration problems along the tread layer, so more superficial interventions are required in order to guarantee the service life and in the same way to protect the integrity of the conductors and pedestrians that circulate on the track.
