Estudios y diseños de la estructura de pavimento para la vía ubicada en la calle 10 en el municipio de Acacias – Meta

Abstract

Currently, the municipality of Acacias is booming in time to roads, this in order to connect more sectors and generate population and urban growth. The road of interest is the 10th street located south of the municipality, it is considered an important road that connects several neighborhoods. This road is in poor condition, with slopes that generate great damage to vehicles that pass through the sector.

The main contribution is the improvement of an important road of the municipality with which it generates a positive population and urban growth for those involved, it was decided to make the designs focused on a lasting improvement, that is why a rigid pavement structure was used, these Designs were made using the AASHTO 93 and PCA 84 methodology, which are currently the most used.

In this project, three wall lamps were made in 3 different places along the road to be improved, this in order to be able to know the mechanical characteristics of the existing soil and determine if improvement is necessary or is a stable soil, in this case the soil existing according to the submerged CBR test yielded values lower than those required to be an optimal soil, that is to say that the soil requires improvement, this ensures an optimal pavement structure behavior.

The designs took into account the provision of curbs or otherwise without confinement, this in order to have better alternatives and decide which is the best or the correct one for the disposal site. An improvement was made with stone rajón, granular base without treating and a concrete Mr-43.

The purpose of this project is to present it to the municipal mayor's office for review and to implement it on the road due to its great importance for the municipality and to have the possibility of executing it.

To conclude it can be described that the type of soil is not in optimal conditions for an adequate behavior of the pavement structure. It is also taken into account that the existing land does not meet INVIAS specifications, which is not possible to implement in part of the structure. Finally, it can be concluded that with the implementation of this project, the quality of life of the inhabitants of the sector and in general of the municipality can be improved.
