Evaluación de las vías urbanas en el cantón Ambato del sector comprendido entre la avenida Real Audiencia de Quito, avenida Bolivariana y la calle Marco Tulio Cicerón

Abstract

This project presents the need for the study of urban roads in the Ambato canton. Due to the fact that the road infrastructure of the city has deteriorated over the years and is considered a fundamental axis for the economic, social and productive development of the inhabitants. In the present project the respective studies were carried out to know the current road status of the urban area of the Ambato canton, it began with the collection of information in the field with the use of information collection sheets, of the existing faults in the different roads. The geographical coordinates of each one of the failures were determined with the use of GPS equipment, to later identify the level of severity of the failure, in addition to marking the damage with an ordered numerical series. Subsequently, a database was compiled and the total number of failures was obtained, in order to know the pavement condition index, the PCI study was carried out, which allowed taking a sample of the area and identifying the condition together with the failures. In which most of the roads in the city are currently located, a referential budget was also made for the cost of repairing the damage found in the area. Upon completion of the study, it will be delivered to the GAD Municipality of Ambato so that the entity can use it for the benefit of the community, since it will be a contribution from the Technical University of Ambato.
