Diseño geométrico para el mejoramiento de la vía que une las comunidades de Santa Mónica y Loma Gorda de la parroquia de Tupigachi, cantón Pedro Moncayo, provincia de Pichincha

Abstract

The road project presents the need to intercommunicate the communities of Santa Mónica and Loma Gorda with comfort and safety for users. These sectors are characterized by their dairy and flower production, which is part of the economic development of the inhabitants. In the present project the respective studies were carried out in the current conditions of the road, starting with the visual field reconnaissance, then proceeded with the topographic survey using the total station, the calculation of the Average Daily Annual Traffic (TPDA) was elaborated, with the observation period of 12 hours daily during seven consecutive days, thus calculating a future traffic for the period of 20 years. In addition, open pits of 1.00mx1.00mx100 were made to take the 10 soil samples and the soil analysis was carried out in the Faculty's laboratory, where the physical and mechanical properties were verified in accordance with the SUCS and AASHTO standards, thus obtaining the design CBR, which allowed designing the pavement structure, obtaining the improvement of the road geometric design and determining the unit price analysis of the project. Upon completion of the study, it will be delivered to the GAD Municipal del Canton Pedro Moncayo, so that the entity can use it for the benefit of the community, since it will be a contribution of the Technical University of Ambato.
