Implementación del proceso de conservación de la estructura de la capa de rodadura de la vía Patate - Baños ABS 15+200 – 18+700 de la provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

In the present, road development is very important worldwide, which is why several civil engineering associations see conservation and maintenance as a concern, this is due to low economic resources. In this project, a georeferenced survey, a study of vehicle mobility, a visual inspection in the place based on the PCI method and laboratory tests were carried out to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the soil where the asphalt structure was settled. When developing this process, it was determined that by means of vehicle mobility, the road is a C1 Collector type II road with a roadway in excellent condition since the average PCI is 93.76, in turn the pavement deflections were evaluated with the CONREVIAL method. Giving us type I deflections, this concludes that the structure is functional and adequate. To finish studies realized were those of soils, thus knowing the base where the pavement structure is based. When developing the granular study and Atterberg limits, a Loamy Sand (A-2-4) with a CBR of 10 percent was obtained, with these data we interpret that the subgrade has Fair-Good conditions. The purpose of the study is to carry out a routine and periodic maintenance plan satisfying the needs of the road, for this reason we have economic and functional solutions.
