Diseño geométrico de la alternativa vial Shuyo – Pinllopata en el tramo km 24+000 – 28+000 perteneciente a los cantones Pujilí y Pangua de la provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

This project was carried out through preliminary studies since there is no design study on this road, topographic tools and equipment such as the RTK (Real Time Kinematic) equipment were used to obtain the contours of the existing road every 500 meters. In addition, a drone was used that flies over said route for imaging (orthophoto), video and obtaining the topographic strip. A fundamental part of this study was the field survey, which consists of a length of 4000 meters, is currently a ballast road. Subsequently, the topographic survey of the road and the design were carried out horizontally, vertically and transversely according to the regulations dictated by the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works of Ecuador. Then the Annual Average Daily Traffic (TPDA) was determined to know the level of service of the road which is Class IV in the estimated design period of 20 years, the calculation of cut volume of 213680.64 m3 was also achieved Due to the topography of the project and above all meet the requirements for this type of project. Finally, a referential budget was prepared for the construction of this road with optimum performance. Everything is described in this document both in tables, figures and plans duly detailed.
