Diseño geométrico y estructural de la vía “K” desde la abscisa 0+320 hasta la abscisa 1+671, ubicado en la parroquia Chillogallo, catón Quito, provincia Pichincha

Abstract

The initial objective of this project is the design and construction of road K, with an extension of 1.150 km, in the San Francisco de Chillogallo neighborhood. This work will provide direct benefits to the residents of the surrounding communities: El Rancho, Mirador Sur Occidente, Jardines del Occidente, all located in the parish of Chillogallo in the city of Quito, promoting agricultural and livestock growth in the aforementioned sectors, ensuring the serviceability of the K road and improving vehicular traffic by shortening travel times. To start with the project and the geometric design, we began with the topographic survey, planimetric and altimetric georeferenced, and then with the information collected to characterize in detail the type of terrain by processing the points taken in situ with the topographic equipment, to subsequently perform the vehicle count, by manual counting, obtaining a classification of the types of vehicles traveling on the road and determining the projected future TPDA. Based on the information collected, the geometric design of the road was carried out, as well as the horizontal and vertical design, complying with the stipulations of the Ministry of Public Works (MOP 2003). The soil study determined the resistance of the subgrade (CBR), which is a conditioning factor for the road surface that TPDA conditioned to be paved for this project. Taking advantage of the information provided by the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (INAMHI), which extracted accurate data on rainfall intensities and design flow rates. This information was key to the design of the optimal drainage system, providing safety to the user and extending the useful life of the road.
