    Estudio para el mejoramiento del trazado vial y estructura de pavimento de la vía Mocha-Pinguilí
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2024-08) Toscano Aguilar, Hernan Steven; Núñez Aldás, Galo Wilfrido
    The present technical project of a road nature originates in response to the vehicular growth experienced by the Mocha-Pinguilí road, which has a direct impact on the geometric layout of the road. Currently, vehicles have difficulties when taking curves that do not have an adequate radius for efficient mobility. Likewise, as this is a commercial route, heavy truck traffic is common, so the current roadway width and pavement structure do not satisfy the growth of vehicles. This project began with a topographic survey using RTK equipment, followed by a traffic study using the 30th hour method. The soil study involved taking samples of the subgrade every 500 meters to analyze its characteristics and properties in the laboratory by means of moisture content, granulometry, Atterberg limits, modified Proctor type B and CBR tests. The geometric layout was made using the Ecuadorian standard MOP-2003, and some suggestions were taken from the standards: Peruvian DG-2018 and AASHTO-2018. The pavement design was developed according to the AASHTO-93 methodology and finally the project's referential budget was made. As a result, an undulating-mountainous relief was determined; the traffic study established a TPDAf of 2,762 vehicles/day and a number of equivalent axles of 1,716,466. A design CBR of 17.72% was determined. The geometric design established a 4-lane roadway and a reference budget of 2'153,849.70

    Diseño geométrico y del pavimento de la vía LLangahua – Silipo – Pinllopata pertenecientes a las provincias de Tungurahua y Cotopaxi en el tramo Km 0+000 - 4+000
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2024-02) Tenelema León, Jenyfer Melanhy; Moreira Cedeño, Fricson Lutgardo
    The current road project arises from the need to establish a connection between the areas of Llangahua, Silipo, and Pinllopata, aiming to create new trade routes that boost educational levels, foster socio-economic activity, and expand markets for local products and raw materials. These actions also aim to reduce poverty, minimize travel times, and lower transportation costs. The technical project began with a topographical survey using a drone, considering the terrain characteristics. Subsequently, a traffic study was conducted, revealing a TPDA of 94 veh/day for a 20-year projection, classifying the road as a Class IV Collector. Horizontal, vertical, and transversal geometric design followed the guidelines of the MTOP 2003 regulations. Soil samples were extracted and laboratory-tested to determine their physical and mechanical properties, identifying a low to non-plastic sandy loam soil with high moisture content and a design CBR of 7.05 percent. These results guided the pavement design in accordance with the AASHTO 1993 standards, obtaining suitable thicknesses considering traffic and soil properties. Finally, the project was quantified, and a reference budget was obtained, subject to changes due to variations in unit prices over time. Nevertheless, it provides an understanding of the necessary resources and facilitates proper planning for project execution.

    This experimental work is presented as a model for evaluating the road infrastructure of Av. Cotopaxi and Río Cutuchi in the province of Cotopaxi. This research began with a georeferenced study for the representation and location of the road under study. With a traffic study, a manual vehicle count was performed for seven uninterrupted days from 07H00 to 19H00 at 15 min intervals, where it turned out to be the collector type road with a future traffic of 11,473 veh/day. Soil studies were carried out using three pits for the evaluation of optimum moisture content, maximum dry density and, by means of the Proctor test, the liquid and plastic limits were determined. The CBR of each sample was also performed and the Benkelman beam was used to determine the deflections, the behavior of the pavement structure and the subgrade of the road, where type II and IV deflections were found. Through the Pavement Condition Index for flexible and articulated pavements, the road was divided into two sections and the condition of each lane was established. With respect to Cotopaxi Avenue, the left lane has a good quality pavement, unlike the right lane, which is in poor condition, and along Río Cutuchi Avenue, the material used is cobblestone in both lanes, which is in fair condition.
