Diseño geométrico para la ampliación de la vía Ambato, agua santa hasta puente Pachanlica, cantón Cevallos, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

In this project, due to the study in the indicated sectors that are in continuous growth of tourism in the last years, being this part of the economic development of the inhabitants, we proceed with the design and road expansion. For the present project the current conditions of the road were determined, starting with a visual field reconnaissance, then a topographic survey was made with the use of the total station, then the calculation of the Annual Average Daily Traffic was elaborated, with an observation period of 12 hours a day, during seven consecutive days with the objective of calculating the annual average daily traffic, Similarly, 1 cubic meter open-air pits were dug in order to obtain 7 soil samples for subsequent analysis in the laboratory of the Faculty of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, where the physical and mechanical properties of the soil were verified using the SUCS and AASHTO standards. Once the tests were performed, it was possible to obtain the design CBR, which allowed designing the pavement structure, improving the road geometric design and determining the unit price analysis of the project. Once the study is completed, it will be delivered to the GAD of the canton, to be used for the benefit of the community, this will be a contribution of the Technical University of Ambato.
