Manuela Sáenz, calle Florida, calle Alabama, calle Abelardo Guzmán, calle Vicente León, calle Gil Gilbert, calle Fernando de Vivero, calle Víctor Garcés, calle Luciano Guerrero, calle Antonio de Rocha(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2024-08) Rosero Moreno, Henry Gonzalo; Acosta Lozada, Rodrigo IvánIn this project, the condition of the urban roads in the canton of Ambato has been evaluated; there are visible physical changes due to climatic changes in recent years, as well as the population growth of society. At the beginning of the project, a visual inspection of the study area was carried out, taking into account the condition of the different types of pavements found in the area. This process was carried out in a meticulous manner with the use of data collection cards and the use of GPS to georeference each existing failure, then the condition of the roads was evaluated using the PCI method, resulting in the level of severity and knowing the characteristics of the roads in order to carry out adequate road maintenance. With the data obtained, a database was generated in a specialized software to take into account where and how the study area is located. Next, once the number of failures in the study area was taken into account, a referential budget for road maintenance was made, generating a solution to the poor condition of the roads. The benefits in road maintenance will increase the socio-economic status of the city, and the increase of commerce and education, finally, the project in question will be delivered in a database to the GAD de Ambato, as a contribution of the Universidad Técnica de Ambato.Item Evaluación de las vías urbanas en el cantón Ambato del sector comprendido entre las calles La Heroína, vía Martínez, La Ceiba, La Caña Guadua, El Algarrobo, y El Carrizo(Universidad Técnica de Ambato.

El Rey, Urdaneta, av. Bolivariana, Vega y Cadena, av. Los Andes, av. Las Américas, C. Sabanilla, Colimes, Chepatan, C. Tinajillas, Loma Redonda, Sagoatoa, Cam. Del Rey, Queseras del Medio, Cataguango(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2023-03) Leyton Veloz, Daniela Elizabeth; Acosta Lozada, Rodrigo IvánIn this project, the need for a road evaluation is presented in the urban roads of the Ambato canton, due to the fact that within the road infrastructure, many deteriorations have been evidenced within the surface layer, which causes discomfort to users. In the present project, the visual evaluation was first carried out in the urban area of the Ambato canton, with the purpose of being able to determine the condition of the pavement through a visual inspection in flexible, rigid and articulated pavements, in addition to taking a GPS point as georeferencing of the faults found. For this purpose, evaluation formats were prepared based on the ASTM D6433 standards, Ecuadorian Road Standard (NEVI-12), and the article in the C. H. Higuera Sandoval magazine, "Pathology of articulated pavements". The collection of information was continued based on the types of failures found, level of severity and their unit of measurement, on the other hand, the abscissa was considered according to the length of each of the roads. Regarding the roads with greater extension, the calculation of the pavement condition index was implemented. Having tabulated the information, the faults were placed on the map using the ArcGIS software, in addition to proceeding with an analysis of unit prices for maintenance or interventions required on the roads. At the end of the evaluation, a database will be delivered to the GAD Municipality of Ambato, which will use the information for the benefit of society as a contribution from the Technical University of Ambato.Item Evaluación de las vías urbanas en el cantón Ambato del sector comprendido entre la av. El Carrizo, El Algarrobo, El Bambú, El Sauce, Los Álamos, El Chupo, Jambelí y av. De Los Capulíes(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2023-02) Izurieta Cordones, Lenin Rodrigo; Aldás Sánchez, Milton RodrigoBased on the lack of information on the physical condition of the road network in the canton of Ambato, this degree project used visual assessment through the Pavement Condition Index or PCI method and the MTOP standards to identify and analyze the condition of the roads in the Ficoa area in the city of Ambato and used RTK-10 equipment to obtain coordinates of each point of failure and thus create a georeferenced database of the road network. A thorough evaluation of the roads in the area was carried out, including the identification and classification of the pathologies present, including deformations, cracks and other forms of damage to the road surface and their severity, Coordinates were determined using RTK-10 equipment and a geo-referenced database of the road network was created using computer software that includes data on the location and condition of each road, as well as details on needed repairs or maintenance, and geographic information system (GIS) technology was used to map the roads and enter the information into the overall project database. At the end of the study, the databank will be delivered to the GAD Municipal de Ambato to facilitate access to detailed information on the condition of the roads and, with this, a road maintenance plan can be developed.Item Evaluación de la infraestructura vial actual de la av. Cotopaxi y Rio Cutuchi de 2,46 km de longitud perteneciente a la parroquia Eloy Alfaro, cantón Latacunga, provincia de Cotopaxi(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2022-06) Caisaguano Chicaiza, Evelyn Gissela; Acosta Lozada, Rodrigo IvánThis 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.Item Implementación de un proceso de conservación de la capa de rodadura de la vía Lasso – Toacaso en el tramo de la abscisa 4+010 hasta 8+020 de la provincia de Cotopaxi(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2022-01) Meléndez Peña, Hugo Fernando; Acosta Lozada, Rodrigo IvánIn order to extend the useful life of the roads, a conservation model is required for these, which is why the present research work is carried out, the purpose of which is to present a conservation model for the road surface layer. The methodology that was applied was a georeferenced survey of the section in question, through an observation process and an orderly record of the observed conditions, a vehicle count was carried out using the Ecuadorian Road Standard - NEVI-12-MTOP, as well as the Taking samples to carry out tests and studies to evaluate road conditions objectively and realistically, analyzing traffic, applying the Pavement Condition Index method to determine the surface conditions and the different layers to study deflections. The soil study was carried out in the faculty laboratories, applying the AASHTO M 145 / ASTM D 421-58 standards; once the samples have been tested, the results obtained define the conditions of the wearing course, as well as the type of deflections. It is concluded that through the implementation of a road maintenance process, the useful life of the road will be lengthened.Item Evaluación del estado de las vías urbanas de la ciudad de Latacunga(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2021-09) Tirado Tulcan, Galy Galiano; Aldás Sánchez, Milton RodrigoThe degree work is an evaluation model for roads in the urban area of the city of Latacunga, by means of a visual inspection for pavements, transversal elements and signaling. Flexible pavements were evaluated using visual inspection manuals proposed by the National Roads Institute INVIAS, where the pathologies present in the roads were collected according to their type, degree of severity and extension in stretches of about one hundred meters. For articulated pavements, an inventory of damages and the calculation of the pavement condition index were carried out. For flexible pavements, the possible interventions to be carried out were established based on what was proposed by the MTOP regulations in relation to the type and severity of the failures obtained in the visual inspection. Likewise, solutions were established according to the type and severity for each failure in the articulated pavements. Cross section diagrams were made for each road evaluated, by taking data in the field for subsequent analysis and verification of distances established by AASHTO, referring to the type of road and zone. The vertical and horizontal signs were evaluated visually to define their condition, in addition to the data collection of the design dimensions and location on the road for verification with the provisions of the INEN 2015 regulations.Keywords: Roads, evaluation, signaling, pavements.Item Implementación del proceso de conservación de la estructura de la capa de rodadura de la vía Ambato – Tisaleo sector Santa Rosa – Juan Benigno Vela en el tramo de la abscisa 6+400 hasta 9+600 de la provincia de Tungurahua(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2021-02) Cajas Peralvo, Danny Ismael; Chérrez Gavilanes, Diego SebastiánThe work presents a conservation model for the current state of the structure of the wearing course of the Ambato-Tisaleo road in the Santa Rosa - Juan Benigno Vela sector in the section of the 6+400 to 9+600 abscissa, for which a series of tests and studies were carried out to obtain an objective and realistic evaluation. The georeferenced survey of the section under study was carried out by recording coordinates through a GPS satellite receiver every 20 meters, data that allowed the representation and location of the track in a digital way. The current and future traffic of the road was determined by counting vehicles during one week, exposing the road as a multi-lane AV1 route. A visual inspection was carried out applying the PCI method, reducing to 15 sampling units to be studied, resulting in a PCI of 82.30 percent, qualifying the road as in good condition. Obtaining the deflections of the wearing course with the Benkelman beam, in 17 different points of the track, resolving that the track generates type I deflections, which means that the structure of the pavement and its subgrade present stable conditions. Four open pits were made, to determine the behaviour of its subgrade, mainly its CBR value which was a value of 10,4 which this result determines the soil in a range from fair to good for subgrade.
