Item Optimización de la geometría de la vía desde el puente Yanayacu hasta Píllaro entre las abs 0+000 – 4+875 perteneciente a la provincia Tungurahua(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil., 2025-02) Yanchaguano Sanchez, Jenny Maribel; Aldás Sánchez, Milton RodrigoGiven the transportation difficulties faced by the residents of the San Andrés parish, this project proposes to substantially improve the road infrastructure in this area. By optimizing the road that connects the Yanayacu bridge with Píllaro between sections 0+000 and 4+875, productive and tourist activities will be facilitated, generating new development opportunities for the Tungurahua sector. The project was structured into three main phases. The first phase corresponded to the preliminary studies, which included fieldwork such as topographic surveys and vehicle counts to determine the ADT of the road. Subsequently, in the second phase, soil studies were conducted, including destructive and non-destructive tests, to characterize the physical and mechanical properties of the soil, as well as the pavement deflections. Finally, in the third phase, using the data obtained in the previous phases, the geometry of the road was redesigned, taking into account the newly calculated TPDA, the soil characteristics, and the applicable technical standards. In this phase, the horizontal, vertical, and transverse design was defined, as well as the other geometric elements. Additionally, a budget was prepared that includes all the costs associated with the construction of the new road, thus ensuring the project's viability. The topographic analysis revealed a mountainous terrain with steep slopes, while the traffic study classified the road as class I. The soil tests indicated a sandy loam material with a CBR of 19.18 percent suitable for subgrade. The results of the deflection measurements with the Benkelman beam showed that 89 percent of the evaluated track length needs reconstruction. Based on these results, the pavement structure was redesigned, consisting of a 7.5 cm asphalt layer, a 15 cm base, and a 20 cm subbase. Finally, the estimated budget calculated for this project was $1´686,962.16Item Evaluación de la red vial en el área urbana de la parroquia San Fernando de la Nueva Historia de Ambato, comprendida en la zona 50.(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil., 2025-02) Calvache Palate, Edisson Fabian; Cañizares Proaño, Byron GenaroThis work focuses on developing a road maintenance plan, which has been developed due to a lack of planning in the city of Ambato, for which an updated data collection of zone 50 will be carried out. This project was developed through three phases, the first one was carried out through a topographic survey that allowed us to know the relief of the area, the second one in the same way we proceeded with an analysis of vehicular traffic for which we used the hours with more traffic, In addition, through the analysis of the PCI we proceeded to identify each type of failure that exists in each of the roads in the area, thus analyzing the state in which the asphalt layer is, then we proceeded to conduct a soil study of the road that has greater structural damage to know what type of subgrade it is in. As a third step, a referential budget managed by the GAD of Ambato was made, to provide maintenance to the roads in the area. As a result we obtained a topographic survey of the roads, sidewalks and curbs, in addition to the fact that the area has a series of faults that are categorized from bad to excellent severity, within the analyzed roads, through the traffic study a TPDA of 291 veh/day was determined and likewise a projected TPDA of 592 veh/day by the year 2044. Likewise, the soil study determined that the road has a sandy-loamy soil type and that its CBR is 16.82 percent, which according to the CBR table can be considered for a subbase soil with good to fair quality. The unit price analysis determined a budget of US$181,863.44, which will be used for theItem Evaluación de la estructura de la capa de rodadura de la vía La Merced en el tramo km 0+000 al km 4+200 del cantón Pujilí de la provincia de Cotopaxi(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil., 2025-02) Arteaga Pazmiño, Héctor Andrés; Cañizares Proaño, Byron GenaroThe road connecting Pujilí canton, specifically in the La Merced neighborhood, from kilometer 0+000 to kilometer 4+200, is in a considerable state of deterioration, negatively affecting both road safety and traffic flow. This situation poses an increasing risk to users and hinders efficient transportation in the area, making it imperative to implement corrective actions. To address this, a comprehensive road maintenance and conservation plan has been developed. This plan includes a detailed analysis of vehicular traffic, a superficial and structural evaluation of the pavement, a proposal for a pavement structure tailored to current and future needs, and the preparation of a referential budget. According to the vehicular traffic study, the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) is recorded at 1,841 vehicles per day, with a projected increase to 3,398 vehicles per day by 2044, highlighting the urgency of immediate intervention. Additionally, the pavement evaluation revealed an average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 58, indicating irregular conditions that necessitate maintenance. The plan proposes specific interventions for the identified sections, including milling and cleaning of the terrain with removal of the vegetative layer. The total estimated cost for these works is $516,582.04 (five hundred sixteen thousand five hundred eighty-two dollars and four cents). Once implemented, this project will not only improve the structural and functional conditions of the road but also enhance user safety, promote more efficient traffic flow, and facilitate road maintenance management by the Decentralized Autonomous Government of Pujilí canton. Furthermore, these actions will contribute to the socio-economic development of the region by providing safer and more sustainable transport infrastructure.Item Optimización de la geometría de la vía desde el puente Yanayacu hasta Píllaro entre las abs 14+625-19+500 perteneciente a la provincia Tungurahua(Universidad Técnica de Ambato.

In response to this, and in coordination with the Ambato Parish Government, this project proposes a comprehensive solution to evaluate the condition of the roads in the urban area of Izamba Parish, Zone 29. The aim is to obtain a precise and detailed diagnosis of the road system and provide practical and executable recommendations for its improvement, thus contributing to the sustainable development and well-being of its inhabitants. To achieve this, a study methodology was developed that comprised three main phases. The first phase involved a detailed topographic survey using high-precision equipment such as drones and RTK, complemented by a vehicular traffic analysis. This allowed for a precise characterization of the existing road conditions. In the second phase, laboratory tests were conducted based on standards to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the soil. In parallel, the condition of the existing pavement was evaluated using the PCI method, which allowed the level of deterioration to be established, and the rehabilitation needs to be defined, facilitating safe and efficient travel for the inhabitants. Finally, in the third phase, the pavement structure was designed, considering the load requirements and soil characteristics. Based on this design, a detailed budget was prepared, including the costs of materials, labor, and equipment, ensuring the economic viability of the project. As a result, a rehabilitation solution was designed that includes the repair of existing damages and the improvement of the load-bearing capacity of the road, ensuring a durable and safe road infrastructure. Additionally, a georeferenced database with detailed information will be delivered to the Ambato Municipal Government, as contribution from the Technical University of Ambato, for the benefit of the community.Item Elaboración de un plan de mantenimiento de la vía comprendida entre los barrios Danzapamba y San José de Barba La y desde la abscisa 5+000 hasta 10+000, cantón Pujilí(Universidad Técnica de Ambato.
