Mejoramiento de 4.2 km de vía que comunica la comunidad Kumpas con el puente sobre el rio Upano, perteneciente a la parroquia Huambi, cantón Sucúa, provincia morona Santiago

Abstract

The present technical project is focused on obtaining the studies corresponding to the geometric design of the roads that connects the Kumpas community with the bridge over the Upano river with the objective of improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of many communities as well as boosting their economy both in the productive agricultural and tourist sectors. For the realization of the present, a previous study of the current conditions of the population was carried out, as well as a topographic study to determine the physical characteristics of the land, soil samples were extracted along the road and were analyzed in the laboratory thus determining the type of soil existent in the study area, a traffic study was also done through fixed stations for a period of 7 days, and based on all the previous studies the geometric design of the road was completed as well as its works of art. The physical characteristics of the land were determined classifying it as a terrain with mountainous relief, with the presence of well-graded sands SW according to SUCS and A-1-B according to AASHTO presenting an excellent bearing capacity, which facilitated the design of the structural package. Besides, the geometric design of 4.254.23m of road was done complying with the standards required in the geometric road design standards (“Normas de Diseño Geométrico de Carreteras 2003”) as well as the design of the works of art and their respective reference budget.
