Diseño geométrico de la alternativa vial Shuyo – Pinllopata en el tramo km 16 + 000 – 20 + 000 perteneciente a los cantones Pujilí y Pangua de la provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

This technical project has as main objetive to the design of four kilometers stretch of road located between the abscissas 16+000 – 20 + 000 of the existing roads that connects Shuyo and Pinllopata, belonging to the Cotopaxi province; directly influencing in the development of these populations and the quality of life of their habitants. This work begins by making a direct observation of the study site in order to determine the current conditions of the road and terrain , then the topographic study with wich we carry out the horizontal, vertical and transversal design of the road with their respective sections of road, volumes of soil movements, ditches and important points where the road will pass adjusting to the new design. In addition, the traffic study (TPDA) was carried out in a manual counting station located in the rural town Chisla with a duration of 7 days for a period of 12 consecutive hours, through which it was possible to determine the number oh vehicles that traveled through this route and the projected traffic in the future with the new route by means of the AASHTO method and the thirty hour. Finally, the cut and fill volume will be calculated, with which a unit price analysis and a work schedule will be carried out. Once this study is completed, it will be delivered to the Angamarca Parish GAD as a contribution from the Universidad Técnica de Ambato to the community so that the construction of the road infrastructure can be carried out, or used in the way it deems appropriate.
