Diseño geométrico de la vía que une desde el sector Arajuno – hasta el sector Juan Vicente, cantón Arajuno, provincia Pastaza

Abstract

This project focused on the geometric design of the road in the Arajuno canton - Pastaza Province, addressing the lack of connection between the roads in the Arajuno sector and the Juan Vicente sector in order to improve the socioeconomic situation of the population of the sector and its surroundings. The characteristics of the road were identified by means of a topographic survey with a total station, with specific points of the road to be designed. Continuing, the information of the vehicular flow was collected through a manual count of 7 days (Monday to Sunday) in a schedule from 7 am to 7 pm from December 13, 2022, with which the Annual Average Daily Traffic was calculated, resulting in a 20-year projection equal to 48 average vehicles per day. By means of the six samples divided in 2 sections the study determined as organic silt soil of low plasticity with an average humidity of 52.7 percent; in addition to a percentile limit of 10000 - 1000000 for medium traffic; and the CBR of 5.74 percent resulting in an adequate soil. Concluding that the traffic volume on the road is low, classified as an agricultural production road, with a reliability of 80 percent, as well as that the road will be class III for a mountainous terrain, with a design speed of 60 km/h, both horizontal, vertical and cross section along the project using 100 percent of W18.
