Diseño geométrico de la vía que conecta las comunidades Chisulche grande - cruz Pungo desde la abscisa 3+140 hasta La abscisa 7+500 perteneciente a la parroquia Toacaso del Cantón Latacunga, provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

The project aims to improve connectivity between the communities of Chisulche Grande - Cruz Pungo to promote agricultural and livestock production, shorten travel time and improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the area, as they currently have dirt roads. In this technical project a high precision topographic survey was carried out RTK, consecutively counting the vehicular traffic for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, with this information, the road was designed with an engineering program, complying with the MOP 2003 regulations, continued with the relevant tests of the soil samples collected in the field determining their moisture content, granulometry, Atterberg limits, Proctor and CBR, finally, the results of the CBR were used to design the pavement structure using the AASHTO 93 standards; The project studies revealed that the area has undulating relief, therefore, the roadway to be designed is classified as class III, also the soil studies identified that the area has a fine sandy soil (A-3) with a design CBR of 16. The studies also identified that the area has a fine sandy soil (A-3) with a design CBR of 16. 50 percent for pavement, showing that the thickness of the asphalt layer is 5 centimetres, a granular base thickness of 10 centimetres and a subbase of 15 centimetres. Finally, after the development of the research, a reference budget was drawn up based on real prices, identifying the necessary elements, labour, materials and equipment and their respective technical specifications.
