Diseño de una estructura de disipación de energía para el proyecto zona 15 la Internacional, ubicado en las avenidas Ajaví y Teniente Hugo Ortiz en el sector de Solanda, cantón Quito

Abstract

The purpose of the project is to design an energy dissipation structure for the sinkhole located in the “La Internacional” neighborhood in the south of Quito. Analysis of the report submitted by EPMMOP was carried out to obtain the necessary data for the selection and construction of this structure. The solution to this problem was the redesign of the Machángara river channel, as well as the implementation of a type III dissipating basin in which all the adequate construction parameters for the hydraulic design of these structures were met. Both structures were modeled using the Flow 3D program to verify their functionality in the event of a flood event as well as with the average daily flow. The construction of these structures will nullify the effect of the sinkhole, providing a definitive solution to the overflow of the slopes, thus providing greater safety for the main roads, businesses, and homes in the surrounding area.
