Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2025-02) Caisaluisa Aimacaña, Lady Jazmin; Aldás Sánchez, Milton RodrigoSocial development and road safety are closely related to the quality and functionality of the road infrastructure, which must meet the appropriate technical requirements. This technical project focuses on addressing the challenges associated with the growth of vehicular flow on the Pillaro road, proposing a comprehensive solution based on the optimization of its geometric design. The main objective is to improve traffic conditions and reduce travel times for tourists using this route, thus contributing to the tourism and economic development of the region. In order to meet this objective, fundamental activities were carried out, such as a topographic survey using a high-precision GNSS system, an exhaustive analysis of vehicular traffic, and soil studies carried out in accordance with current regulations. These analyses were essential to determine the physical and mechanical characteristics of the terrain, crucial elements in the formulation of the design proposal. The optimization proposal includes both the geometric redesign of the road and the structural calculation of the pavement, incorporating these elements in an estimated budget and an execution schedule. A total road length of 4.875 km was established, along with a projected annual average daily traffic (ADAT) of 7805 vehicles/day for a design period of 20 years. This projection allowed the road to be classified as a Class 1 arterial road, in compliance with current regulations. As a result, the soil studies revealed a design CBR of 20.31 percent, qualifying the material as highly suitable for use as subgrade. Based on these results, the optimum thicknesses for the different layers of the road were determined: 7.5 cm for the asphalt layer, 15 cm for the base and 20 cm for the subbase, thus guaranteeing the durability and functionality of the road. In addition, a detailed economic analysis was carried out, estimating an execution budget of $1,467,274.83. This investment is intended to improve connectivity between the communities and the urban area, promoting economic development in the region.Item Diseño geométrico vial y del pavimento de la vía Salcedo - Alpamalag en los sectores San Andrés de Pilaló - San Pedro de Jachaguango desde la abscisa 0+000 hasta la abscisa 4+500 perteneciente al cantón Salcedo, provincia de Cotopaxi(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2024-08) López Uribe, Santiago Ismael; Pérez Maldonado, Ruth LorenaThe geometric design of the Salcedo – Alpamalag road was carried out due to various problems such as the difficulty of transportation for farmers in the sector, poor condition of the road and its lack of maintenance, resulting in low economic production in the adjacent sectors. The technical project began with a prior inspection of the place, in order to collect information and carry out the topographic survey with high precision equipment (RTK), subsequently a vehicle count was carried out for 7 days for 12 hours a day to obtain traffic levels and then its TPDA, then 6 soil samples were extracted at different points of the road, which were taken to the faculty laboratories for their respective tests of moisture content, granulometry, Atterberg limits, Proctor compaction and CBR, with the help From the CBR data of the soil, it was possible to design the structure of the pavement and the thicknesses corresponding to each of its layers, complying with the AASHTO 93 regulations and finally the reference budget was calculated based on the volumes of work, materials and equipment necessary to the correct execution of the project. With the analyzes carried out, a mountainous relief was determined, in addition to the fact that it is a Class IV road, the tests determined that the soil is a silty sand (A-2) and the design CBR for the pavement is 8%, having a The result was a 5 centimeter asphalt layer, a 15 centimeter granular base and a 20 centimeter subbase.Item Elaboración de un plan de mejoramiento de la vía que une los sectores de la libertad de la parroquia Huachi Grande con el barrio Condorloma de la parroquia Santa Rosa del cantón Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2024-08) Gavilanes Rivera, Albert Alexander; Moya Medina, Dilon GermánAdequate road infrastructure that complies with technical standards is essential to ensure the progress of society and traffic safety. In response to this situation and considering the needs of the GAD Parroquial de Huachi Grande and Santa Rosa, this project aims to propose a comprehensive improvement plan for the road linking these two parishes, since the current conditions do not guarantee the required safety and efficiency. For this purpose, a topographic survey was carried out with RTK equipment and a study of vehicular traffic. Subsequently, soil studies were carried out based on standards, thus establishing the physical and mechanical properties. This was followed by the improvement plan, which consisted of a geometric design of the road, as well as the calculation of the pavement structure, information necessary to prepare a referential budget and schedule. As a result, a road length of 4+640.89 km was defined, in addition to a future TPDA of 2687 vehicles/day for a design period of 20 years, classifying this road as class II. Subsequently, a design CBR of 13.35 percent is highlighted, which defined the soil as fair to good for use in subgrade. In addition, thicknesses of 7.5 cm were calculated for the asphalt binder, 15 cm for the base and 20 cm for the subbase. Finally, an economic analysis was carried out to obtain a budget for the implementation of the project of $1,514,594.25 and a time frame of 24 weeks.Item Diseño geométrico de la vía que une los sectores de unión Baserosario Yaku perteneciente a la parroquia Veracruz, cantón Pastaza, provincia de Pastaza(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2024-08) Quispe Escobar, Richard Rai; Núñez Aldas, Galo WilfridoThe choice to improve the road that connects the sectors of Unión Base-Rosario Yaku in the province of Pastaza is due to its poor condition, which harms the residents of the area. It is crucial to carry out a geometric design to optimize mobility and guarantee the safety of the inhabitants who transit daily. The current conditions of the road represent a significant risk, increasing the probability of accidents and negatively affecting the quality of life of users. To address the geometric design of the road, quantitative and qualitative methodologies were used, with field and bibliographic research methods. Quantitative methodologies made it possible to collect and analyze numerical data on traffic and the physical conditions of the road, while qualitative methodologies provided information on user needs. The road was designed using various software and complying with the regulations of the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works. In addition, tests were carried out on soil samples collected in the field, determining their moisture content, granulometry, Atterberg, Proctor and CBR limits. As a result, the project studies revealed that the area has a flat relief, classifying the road to be designed as class IV, while the soil tests identified an A-2-7 soil “gravel and clayey or silty sand” in all samples. extracted, with a design CBR of 9.30 percent indicating an asphalt layer thickness of 5 centimeters, a granular base of 15 centimeters and a subbase of 20 centimeters.Item Diseño geométrico y de pavimentos de la vía interparroquial Aláquez – San Marcos – Pilatan tramo 0+000 a 4+810 de la ciudad de Latacunga provincia de Cotopaxi(Universidad Técnica de Ambato.
