    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2021-01) Rodríguez Pinto, Ricardo Giovanny; Acosta Lozada, Rodrigo Iván
    To prepare the technical project, a topographic survey was carried out and a representation close to reality was obtained, a road inventory was also made, in which the characteristics of the road, length, width, also the presence of sidewalks, ditches, , sewer pits and adjacent streets. A manual count of the vehicle capacity was carried out with which the Annual Average Daily Traffic (ADT) was determined, which established that it is classified as a class II collector road Through the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method, it was possible to evaluate the current state of its structure, through this method the existing faults in the pavement as well as their severity were determined, with the results obtained from the Aláquez - Mulaló road. It is in very good condition so routine maintenance is necessary. Soil samples were extracted along the road, at every kilometer to be taken to the laboratory and to be able to carry out the corresponding tests such as granulometry, Atterberg limits, compaction and California Support Index (CBR) test. With the results obtained in the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method, it was determined that routine maintenance should be carried out in order to extend the useful life of the road.
