Diseño de las obras de drenaje de arte mayores y menores desde el km 0+000 hasta el km 4+500 de la vía que une el sector de Calamaca con la represa de Chiquiurco, Ambato, Tungurahua

Abstract

The project is located in the parish of San Fernando, having its origin in the sector of Calamaca and its destination in the reservoir of Chiquiurco, because it is an empirical way presents the lack of drainage works of major and minor art. For this reason, the project was divided into three stages. The first consisted of a topographic survey and hydrological studies, obtaining data from the meteorological station of the Chiquiurco reservoir from 2013 to 2024, in order to determine the maximum flow rates. The second was based on proposing the locations and dimensions of the surface and crown ditch, culverts and bridges, with the objective of complying with the parameters established by the hydraulic design standards for road works. Finally, the third was based on determining the items and unit prices of the project. The result of the maximum intensity of the site was 47.51 mm/h, so the maximum flows in the area were subsequently calculated, obtaining a total of 17 culverts for the entire road with a dimension of 500 mm in diameter, while for the surface ditch a triangular shape was proposed with a dimension of 0.63 m at the base and 0.20 m in height. For the crown gutter, a rectangular shape was proposed with a dimension of 0.30 m base and 0.20 m height.
