Evaluación de las vías urbanas en el cantón Ambato del sector comprendido entre la calle Sócrates, av. Galo Vela Álvarez, calle Marco Tulio Cicerón, av. Real Audiencia de Quito

Abstract

One of the problems of the country's municipalities is not having updated information on the state of roads, so the Municipality of Ambato decided to carry out this macroproject in conjunction with the Technical University of Ambato through the Civil Engineering Career, in order to solve the problem it was decided to conduct a road diagnosis of the urban roads of the canton. In the present project, the evaluation of the road condition was carried out specifically in the sector between Socrates Street, Galo Vela Alvarez Avenue, Marco Tulio Cicero Street, Real Audiencia de Quito Avenue, belonging to the Ambato canton. With the use of cards based on the ASTM D6433-07 standard and together with specialized tools, the survey of each of the existing faults in the roads was carried out, and with the help of georeferencing software, each of the faults was represented with informative data such as dimensions, type of fault, degree of severity, photographic evidence and location of the fault. A Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was also performed to determine the condition of the main avenues in the project area, such as Galo Vela Avenue and Real Audiencia Avenue, and then a reference budget was established for their repair. At the end of the road evaluation project of the urban areas of Ambato, a database was delivered to the Municipality of Ambato so that it can be used for the benefit of the community.
