Propuesta de mejoramiento del tramo de vía alterna al “barrio el Murco” desde la abscisa 0+000 – 4+000, ubicada en la parroquia de Alóag, cantón Mejía, provincia de Pichincha

Abstract

The development of the Proposal for the Improvement of the Section of the Alternate Road to “Barrio El Murco” from Abscissa 0+000 – 4+000, Located in the Parish of Aloag, Canton Mejia, Province of Pichincha. This in order to provide to the community, as well as nearby road users (such as livestock producers and drivers who travel frequently on Panamericana Avenue), with a convenient option in cases of road congestion in addition to presenting tourist alternatives since located near the slopes of the Pasochoa volcano. It was found that the road (currently rock paved) lacks basic elements for its proper functioning such: as signage, drainage, the layers of the road structure are in poor condition. For which we made a traffic study was developed to determine a Future Average Traffic with a twenty years projection. A topographic survey was carried out to obtain the coordinates and altitude of the previous road (if possible, use the previous road layout as can be seen in certain places the layout was changed). To determine the quality of the soil where the road Will be located, test was carried out to obtain the granulometry and quality of the subgrade through CBR test, with regard to field work. Once this is completed, the office work begins, which consist of the design using computer tools such as the CIVILCAD 3D program, for the design of the improvement layout, and then, based on the soil test described above, establish the dimensions of the layer of the pavement structure. In addition to carrying out the hydraulic design in order to give users a quiet journey (since hydroplaning is avoided) and give the track an optimal lifespan. For the design of the improvement, the MOP 2003 regulations have been used, in addition to the INEN regulations for the hydraulic design and road signage. Finally, a reference budget for the project was determined.
