Evaluación estructural de pavimento de las vías alternas de la parroquia rural El Retiro cantón Machala

Abstract

The roads are part of a road infrastructure for public use, which must be in good condition, providing a good service for safe transportation, complying with each of the parameters, which is established by the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP), thus constituting an important role for the growth and development of a country. However, within the Ecuadorian territory there is a certain deficit in the roads, they are deteriorated, they present superficial damage to the road surface, these situations make vehicular traffic uncomfortable, in fact a road in poor condition can be the cause of mishaps while driving and damage to the car, thus reducing transportation because access to the territory is difficult. One of the problems that exist is the deformations that occur along the length and width of the road, this increases the risk of suffering accidents, since Driver behavior, vehicle condition and maintenance depend on the conditions of the pavement structure. The objective of the work is to evaluate the structure of the pavement of the urban roads of the El Retiro Rural Parish located in the city of Machala through the application of empirical methods, the work is aimed at identifying possible failures and classifying the injuries found in the pavement structures
