Implementación del proceso de conservación de la estructura de la capa de rodadura de la vía Ambato – Tisaleo sector Tisaleo en el tramo de la abscisa 12+800 hasta 16+200 de la provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The present technical work has the purpose of implementing a conservation technique in the wearing course of the Tisaleo road in the section 12+800 up to 16+200 in the province of Tungurahua. By means of the collection of data it will be possible to know the present state of the road, the same ones that will be able to be used for future studies of the topic or deepen on topics of maintenance and road evolution that determine actions that cause that the road is in suitable conditions to offer comfort and convenience to the users. For the development of the project, data were collected in the field, which was carried out by means of a georeferenced survey of the section under study, in which an abscissa is considered every 20 meters which are taken with a GPS (satellite receiver), allowing the model to be made digital road. A vehicle traffic study was carried out that consisted of counting vehicles for a period of one week and twelve consecutive hours, which allowed determining the ADTT. Damages and failures on the road were recorded, taking their measurements and affected areas, in addition to data such as track widths for later calculation. Using these data, the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was calculated and a Benkelman beam deflection test and a CBR soil study were carried out to determine the structural state of the road.
