Diseño geométrico de la vía Pinllopata – El Corazón en el tramo 0 + 000 hasta 4 + 000 perteneciente al cantón Pangua de la provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

This present technical project was to carried out from the Pinllopata’s parish to El Corazón in order to carry out the traffic study, topographic survey of the area and the soil study, in which the different technical aspects are presented to detail the geometric design of the road, complying with the regulations imposed by the Ministry of Transport and Public Works. From Sunday 17 to Saturday 23 November 2019, the vehicle count was carried out, which was taken as a control point in the Empalme sector, the count was carried out manually for 12 uninterrupted hours with intervals of 15 minutes according to the geometric design regulations of the MTOP. The topographic study was accomplished from Wednesday, December 11 to Saturday, December 14, 2019 where the characteristics of the terrain were determined by placing reference points by means of stakes and targets in order to capture orthophotos with an amplitude of 100 m on each side from the axis of the track. The soil study was accomplished on Saturday, December 14, where soil samples were taken through pits, in order to know the characteristics and properties of the soil for the subsequent development of the pavement structure, under the AASHTO-93 regulations.
