Diseño geométrico de la vía Pinllopata – El Corazón en el tramo 4 + 000 hasta 7 + 900 perteneciente al cantón Pangua de la provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

The Project was developed in the Province of Cotopaxi on the Pangua Canton, specifically between the towns of Pinllopata and El Corazon, where the towns submerged in the need for an access road to their towns with the sole purpose of improving economic aspects, social, tourist and cultural. All the studies carried out in this project were carried out with the norm of the Ministry of Transport and Public Works MTOP-2003; where a topographic survey was carried out, using a georeferencing equipment and a Phantom 4 drone, and the data was processed by the Pix 4D software. Within the vehicular study, it was to carried out using the manual counting method, where the locality of the grant was taken as a base point, for which we proceeded by classifying the vehicles that circulate on that road, resulting in a projection of traffic for a design period of 20 years. The horizontal, vertical and transversal geometric design of the development with AutoCAD Civil 3D software, as well as determining the cut and fill volumes. The study of soils took place in the laboratories of the technical University of Ambato, taking samples from the Pinllopata – El Corazon road, using pits every 500 meters, and under the regulations of AASHTO – 93. As well as for the design of the pavement where, through the mechanical characteristics of the soil, we were able to determine the thickness of the base, sub-base and flexible pavement.
