Abstract

It attributes problems of lack of commerce, quality of life and basic needs that make this project have the importance of an expansion and study of the road for the residents of the El Deseo - Punta Brava sector between kilometers 20+000 and 24+000. With this, economic growth and quality of life for its inhabitants are sought, which through certain design parameters dictated by the MTOP (2003), make it possible to determine the classification of the road as Class III. A topographical survey was used as the first point, which helped us to establish the conditions of the terrain with precision equipment, and managed to execute an excellent horizontal, vertical and transversal geometric design with its complementary works. At the same time, the soil study is under way, in which the index properties and mechanical of the soil samples were determined for each abscissa, using the specifications of both the AASHTO and the SUCS, defining a fundamental design parameter such as is the CBR, and allowed to set thicknesses of the pavement layers It is essential to study the traffic that this road has (TPDA), which allowed us to make a future projection of it in 20 years, seeking to satisfy the demand of its users without the loss of serviceability of the pavement. Finally, a calculation of cut and fill volumes is made to specify a reference budget, giving us the premises of the construction stage of said road.
