Abstract

This project seeks to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the sectors of San Jacinto, Chapte and Macas that are located in the limits of the Cojitambo and Javier Loyola parishes belonging to the Azogues canton of the province of Cañar, this improvement It focuses on obtaining studies for the construction of a road infrastructure that allows the adequate mobility of vehicles and pedestrians, and in this way promotes with greater intensity, among others, tourism to Cerro Cojitambo, the transportation of agricultural products, better access to health centers and the different growing housing complexes in the sector. Based on this, the vehicular count of strategic points was carried out to estimate the future traffic expected in this road section, the existing levels of the current line of the road and a strip of 15 meters on each side of the road were surveyed. current axis, the geometric design study bases its design on the current regulations of the MTOP 2003, for which the road was determined as a TYPE IV ROAD CLASS with traffic fluctuating between 100 to 300 vehicles, it was also determined that for the projection The pavement structure to withstand repeated traffic loads is a 10-inch granular subbase course, followed by a 6-inch granular base course and a 3-inch asphalt binder slab.
