Diseño de un plan de conservación de la estructura de la capa de rodadura de la vía Pinguilí-Rosal-Yanahurco en el tramo de la ABSCISA K4+000 a K8+000 perteneciente al cantón Mocha, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

Seeing and understanding that the section of road studied is not in an optimal state, thus hindering access, communication, and connectivity in the area, with this technical project we seek to propose a conservation plan for the structure of the layer rolling. For this, first, a georeferenced survey was carried out, using RTK, with this we determined the dimensions of the road, in addition to highlighting key points, such as ditches, storm sewers and other sections. Subsequently, a manual count and typing of the vehicles was carried out, a process that was carried out for a week in a period from 06:00 to 18:00, for the subsequent calculation of the TPDA. As a next step, we proceeded with the taking of soil samples, making test pits, which were excavated two for each kilometer of track studied, the material obtained was transferred to the laboratory to be later tested. A visual inspection of the road was carried out, a process with which we identified and classified the different types of damage existing in the surface layer to determine PCI. After that, the respective test was carried out with the Benkelman beam whose main objective is to determine the deflections of the pavement. With all the processes carried out previously, we came to establish that the road needs routine maintenance that will help prolong its useful life, helping to maintain in optimal condition such a vital heritage for the interconnection of the parishes.
