Abstract

This project presents the need to conduct a study of the urban roads of the canton of Ambato located in the province of Tungurahua, since it is important to recognize that the road infrastructure of the city has had a progressive deterioration due to the growth of the vehicle fleet of the sector internally and externally. This is why the project provides a current study of the state of the road axis that includes AV. los Guaytambos, Club Tungurahua, las Azaleas, los Nísperos, las Magnolias, las Pomarrosas, los Mangostinos, Chamburos, las Aceitunas. The different types of failures of the flexible, rigid and articulated pavement were determined, together with technical data sheets that allowed obtaining field data for each of the road sections. In the case of the evaluation of Avenida los Guaytambos, it was carried out using the method of calculating the pavement condition index (PCI), which made it possible to evaluate the condition of the avenue through the study of specific sections. The geographic coordinates of each of the faults found on the different roads were collected using a high-precision RTK-10 GPS. At the end of the study, a database was prepared using the software containing the geographic coordinates of the 250 faults found within this area and also a referential budget for road repair. This project will be delivered to the GAD Municipal de Ambato to be executed for the benefit of all the inhabitants of the place.
