Plan de conservación para la estructura del pavimento de la vía que conecta la comunidad san Francisco-Santa Lucía Centro en el tramo de la abscisa 0+000 hasta 4+760 del cantón Tisaleo, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The aforementioned road presented problems for the residents of the sector because there is a large amount of damage to the asphalt layer, which prevents a correct mobilization of vehicles, due to this, to improve the quality of life in the sector, this project is presented. MTOP standards were used to integrate criteria and schedule a conservation and/or maintenance plan. The topographic survey of the road was carried out and a digital representation was obtained, in which the characteristics of: length, width, presence of sidewalks, and adjacent streets were verified. Likewise, a manual count of the vehicle capacity was carried out with which the TPDA was established and it was classified as a class I collector road. Through the PCI method, the current state of its structure, its severity, and the existing faults in the pavement were determined, with the results obtained, it was determined that it is in good condition, so routine maintenance will be necessary. Soil samples were extracted along the road, and tests for moisture content, granulometry, Atterberg limits, compaction and California Support Index (CBR) test of the land were carried out, managing to assess the current state of the road. . As a result, it was determined that by applying this conservation plan to the road, it can be used for the benefit of the inhabitants, thus improving their quality of life and reaching its useful life for which it was designed.
