Elaboración de estudios de ingeniería para el mejoramiento de la vía a la cabecera parroquial de San Sebastián de Yuluc, desde la abscisa 5+500.00 hasta la cabecera parroquial de San Sebastián de Yuluc, ubicada en el cantón Saraguro de la provincia de Loja

Abstract

The power-generator company of the Austro, ELECAUSTRO S.A. is executing the wind project “Minas de Huascachaca”, located in the parish of San Sebastián de Yúluc, canton Saraguro, Loja province. Several roads in the parish have been planned to improve as compensation to the community for these works. In this context, the present project seeks the "ELABORATION OF ENGINEERING STUDIES FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE ROAD TO THE PARISH HEADQUARTERS OF SAN SEBASTIÁN DE YULUC FROM THE ABCISA 5+500.00 TO THE PARISH HEADQUARTERS OF SAN SEBASTIÁN DE YULUC, LOCATED IN THE SARAGURO CANTON OF THE PROVINCE OF LOJA". Under these engineering studies, it is possible to obtain the Technical Report of the Topographic study, the Technical Report of the Definitive Geometric Design, and the Technical Report of the Pavement Designs. The road section under study has a length of 3,571.00 m. For the geometric design, it has been tried to adjust as much as possible to the existing infrastructure through spiral curves, generating a minimum of cut and fill. Two alternatives have been proposed for the structure of the pavement. The first contemplates a sub-base layer thickness of 25.00 cm, a base layer thickness of 12.00 cm and a 2.00-inch asphalt concrete wearing course. The second alternative comprises a 30.00 cm sub-base layer, a 17.00 cm cement-stabilized base layer, and a Double Bituminous Surface Treatment wearing course.
