Implementación del proceso de conservación de la estructura de la capa de rodadura de la vía Quero – Salasaca en el tramo de la abscisa 0+000 hasta 3+600 de la provincia de Tungurahua.

Abstract

The present experimental work is based on the implementation of a conservation process on the Quero - Salasaca road in the section of the abscissa 0 + 000 to the abscissa 3 + 600 of the Tungurahua province, since the provincial roads do not count with a conservation model which guarantees the period of useful life for which they were designed. A georeferenced survey was carried out to identify the points that were analyzed during the collection of information and a representation close to reality was obtained. A manual counting station was identified, in which data of at least 10 hours a day for 7 days in a row of the week are registered without it being affected by special events, this information determines the value of the TPDA. The PCI method consists basically of the collection of information of the superficial faults found in the rolling layer visually, for this 14 samples were identified, which represents the total of the Quero - Salasaca road. In addition, a field test was carried out with the help of the Benkelman beam running at every 200 meters and at a distance of 0.60 m from the edge of the road inwards, at each point analyzed values were taken at each 0.25m, 0.50m, 1.00 m, 5.00m and 8.00m from the starting point to identify the total deformation that exists at each point.
