Ampliación y rectificación del trazado de la vía Pitágoras, parroquia Picaihua

Abstract

Due to the fact that the current effective width of the Vía Pitágoras does not satisfy the vehicular demand of the sector and due to the lack of road infrastructure, the present technical project in the Province of Tungurahua is proposed, carrying out the road layout and rectification of the axis of the road to its enlargement.The project was carried out under the regulations of the Ministry of Public Works (MOP-2003), today (MTOP), began with the topographical survey, where existing elements and their topography were identified, later the Average Annual Daily Traffic (TPDA) was determined. , through a manual count and in this way real data was obtained in order to provide an optimal geometric solution, design speeds and safe circulation.The data obtained in the territory were processed and analyzed in accordance with the regulations that govern road design and the parameters required by the MTOP, in such a way that both the horizontal design, vertical design, signage design and soil study comply with the impositions of the competent entities.Through the road design, it was possible to quantify the volumes of masses for cutting and filling, as well as finding the feasible road axis so that the consolidated constructions are not affected at the time of expansion, in the same way through the study of soils it was achieved identify that the terrain is optimal for the road and that it provides security to the proposed road infrastructure.
