Proyecto de pavimento flexible de la calle Juan José Flores desde la avenida la Huada hasta la calle Juan León Mera del cantón Huaquillas, provincia de El Oro

Abstract

The main objective of the thesis project prior to obtaining the degree of civil engineer is to design a flexible pavement through soil and traffic studies for the improvement of the structure of the Juan José Flores road between La Huada and Juan León Mera avenues in the Huaquillas canton, province of El Oro. Preliminary field studies were taken into account for this project. The road to be designed was surveyed in its current condition, using topographic equipment such as a Garmin GPS. The traffic study is one of the most important parameters at the time of design, for it in the road traffic gauging was performed through a manual count, obtaining the annual average daily traffic, once this value was projected to 20 years the future traffic was obtained, very necessary data with which we entered to calculate the equivalent axles of load thus defining the ESAL'S, which together with the CBR of design obtained from the respective soil studies were determined the thicknesses of pavement layer. With all the data previously obtained from the different studies, the corresponding calculation memories were prepared.
