Estudio de Caso y Propuesta de Guía para la Construcción de placa huellas en el departamento de Boyacá

Abstract

The case review and proposed guide for the construction of a footprint in the department of Boyacá shows the construction process for the execution of a footprint, as well as the tests and care required in the construction process. these procedures are based on the Colombian technical standard (NTC), guide for the design of pavements with a footprint, National Institute of Roads (INVIAS), which supports the development of each of the activities required for the construction of footprints. Useful recommendations are provided that can facilitate the execution of the project. This work is based on the observation and on-site study in works such as maintenance and improvement of rural roads in Gachantivá and improvement of the rural road network in the municipality of Sotaquirá through the construction of footprints, where shortcomings in their construction and the handling of the materials could be evidenced. For this reason, this work is focused on providing a solution based on the priority of training the workers in roadbed construction, who are generally from the area and lack knowledge in construction. Likewise, it was concluded that there is still much to investigate and improve in relation to this issue.
