Mejoramiento geométrico y estructural de la vía “Y de Atalpamba hasta el barrio Santo Domingo de los Duques”, desde la abscisa 0+000 a 2+500, en la parroquia de Guayllabamba, cantón Quito, provincia Pichincha

Abstract

The project consists in carrying out the geometric and structural improvement of the road that consists of a length of 2.5 Km which communicates to the neighboring neighborhoods of "Santo Domingo de los Duques" and "El Molino" in order to benefit the circulation of the transport of its agricultural products through a geometric and structural improvement that is able to meet the general specifications for the construction of roads and bridges of the MOP-001-F 2002 and Geometric Design Standard MOP - 2003 ensuring proper circulation while safeguarding the safety of users. A topographic survey of the area under study was carried out to identify the type of terrain and to obtain georeferenced points in the field using topographic equipment. Subsequently, the traffic study was carried out extracting the data of the average traffic observed in the ring between the Santa Cecilia, Chaupiurco and Vaquería roads in the community of Cangahuapungo at a distance of 6.7Km from our project, because vehicle traffic on the "Y de Atalpamba" and "Santo Domingo de los Duques" does not work normally since the Parish Government of Guayllabamba began its maintenance work from January 11, 2023 to the present month, Consequently, we consider that it is not appropriate to conduct a vehicle study for a very low volume of vehicle traffic, unreliable and unable to guarantee the safety of its users for a projected period of 10 and 20 years. Finally, we carried out a soil study through the DCP test we obtained the CBR which allows us to evaluate the quality of the sub-floor and establish the thickness of the layers of the design of the flexible pavement structure such as base, sub-base and asphalt layer for a period of 10 and 20 years.
