Estudio para la apertura de la vía entre los sectores La Floresta y San Juan de los Diablos, de la parroquia Río Negro del cantón Baños de Agua Santa, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The present work has the purpose of the road study of the sectors La Floresta and San Juan de los Diablos, to put into practice all the knowledge acquired in the career of Civil Engineering. It begins by recognizing the terrain with inspections accompanied by the inhabitants of the communities involved and then gathering all the information to draw three routes as alternatives for the preliminary design of the road. With the Bruce Method and the zero line, the best route is selected, with the greatest benefit in the technical, environmental and economic fields. With these elements proceed with the horizontal and vertical design of the project, following the guidelines of the Standards of Geometric Design of Roads of the MOP 2003. The traffic study is carried out to verify the category or class of road. The next activity is the respective soil studies, known as the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) design that is used in the design of the flexible pavement structure. Drainage works and the referential budget are designed.
