Propuesta de mejoramiento vial de la vía a San Luis de Aloguincho, Km 1+822-3+382, ubicado en la parroquia rural Atahualpa, cantón Quito, provincia de Pichincha

Abstract

The project presented below has been carried out with the purpose of proposing an alternative for the improvement of the road to the neighborhood of San Luis de Aloguincho-Parroquia Perucho, a proposal that will provide several social, economic and cultural benefits to the parishes of Atahualpa and Puéllaro, allowing the direct connection, currently nonexistent between these two parishes, so its implementation is essential. This road improvement project has been carried out based on data obtained in the field, such as topographic surveys, extraction of samples of the subgrade and vehicle counts. With the data obtained, it was possible to determine The indispensable topographic strip for the geometric design of the road, the volume of vehicular traffic or TPDA that is projected in the road for the life time of the work, the number of equivalent axles ESAL'S which based on the AASHTO norm of the year 1993 allows us to determine the layer thicknesses for the different types of pavements; The type of soil on which the road work will be based and its physical-mechanical characteristics, the hydrological analysis and the hydraulic design of the road drainage works to obtain the most optimal sections, the design of signaling in accordance with INEN standards, and the environmental impact study based on the provisions of the Ecuadorian Ministry of the Environment (MAE). The results obtained in terms of geometric design, pavement structure design and hydraulic design guarantee that the project will meet the requirements for optimum and continuous service. Finally, the budget, unit price analysis and project schedule were determined and the technical-economic evaluation of the proposal was carried out, covering maintenance issues, benefits and costs.
