Alternativa de diseño de drenaje vial de la carretera Troncal Amazónica – Campamento Fruta del Norte, provincia Zamora Chinchipe

Abstract

The present work aims at an alternative road drainage design for the Amazonian trunk road – North Fruit Camp in the province of Zamora Chinchipe. The designs made comply with the EMMOPS standards for the new design. Data was collected from meteorological yearbooks to topographic points, as well as the dimensions of the road and this will also vary according to the topography of the terrain. Based on the studies carried out, an alternative is proposed in the designs of ditches and culvert points in each section of the road and avoiding that the flows cause flooding on the road since being an area with a humid and semi-humid tropical climate, it is important that the road is kept in condition without damage and prevent skidding by cars.
