Propuesta de acceso vehicular a zonas de producción de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias de la Universidad Técnica de Machala

Abstract

The present work focused on the design of a proposal to improve vehicular access to the Production Zones of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the Technical University of Machala. This proposal is considered an effective and necessary solution to improve mobility in the area, as water accumulation has caused damage to the road. The procedure began with the extraction of several soil samples at different depths using excavation pits. The soil samples obtained were analyzed in the laboratory using various tests, such as liquid limit, plastic limit, gradation, and CBR, using the - large house, method and the Proctor method. The test results were used to classify the soil according to the AASHTO method and to design the pavement following the methodology set forth in the AASHTO-93 standard, -Guide for Design of Pavement Structures.
