Ampliación de la vía El Limón – El Deseo 4+000 a 8+000 perteneciente al cantón Pangua de la provincia de Ccotopaxi

Abstract

The need for this technical project lies in meeting the requirements of the residents regarding the problem of vehicular traffic in the El Limón-El Deseo sector, which generated a conflict in terms of economic issues regarding the sustainability of the sector, agriculture and livestock. Therefore, we proceeded to provide a solution based on the regulations of the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works MTOP 2003, and AASHTO 93 regulations. The methodology of this technical project began with the topographic survey with precision equipment, in this case a total station, the survey contains the existing road, a strip of 50m per side and existing buildings that reach within this strip. Subsequently, a soil analysis was carried out, excavation pits were dug to obtain soil samples every 500m along the road section under study, with these samples laboratory tests were carried out to obtain the characteristics, physical and mechanical properties of the soil, information necessary for the subsequent design of pavements. For the road design, we began with a vehicle count for 7 days and 12 hours a day, from which we obtained the future TPDA, necessary to choose the type of road and its characteristics according to the aforementioned regulations. Finally, a referential budget was elaborated with the current unit prices, so that the responsible entity, in this case the GAD Municipal de Pangua, can make use of this technical project for the benefit of the community.
