Diseño geométrico y del pavimento de la vía Silipo – Pinllopata en el tramo km 12+000 – 16+000, perteneciente al cantón Pangua de la provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

The present project was carried out in the Pangua canton of the Cotopaxi Province and its purpose is to design an alternative road that connects Silipo-Pinllopata, in addition to the design of the pavement, in order to improve economic, cultural, tourist and social development. of the canton. For the study of the TPDA, a manual count of 7 days was chosen, for 12 hours from 2 to 8 december, 2019. For the geometric design of the road, it was carried out under the norm of MOP-2002 (Ministerio de Obras Pública) and MTOP-2003 (Ministerio de Transporte y Obras Públicas), where the horizontal, vertical and transversal design are suitable for the conditions of the terrain, speeds and restrictions limited in the MTOP-2003 regulation. 9 soil samples necessary to carry out laboratory tests were extracted which are: Granulometry, Atterberg Limits (liquid limit, plastic limit and plastic index), Modified Proctor and California Bearing Ratio (CBR). Through the AASTHO-93 regulation, it was possible to calculate and know the optimal asphalt layer thicknesses for the volume of traffic proposed for a design period of 20 years. Through the designs it was possible to quantify the cut volume, in addition to its total length, therefore, the referential budget was calculated.
