Estudios y diseños para la estructura de pavimento del barrio Samán de la rivera en el municipio de Villavicencio - Meta

Abstract

In the Samán de la Rivera neighborhood, the absence of an optimal pavement structure is evidenced to facilitate the movement to different points or places, for this reason the design of the pavement structure was proposed in order to provide the community with a An alternative that is durable, safe and economical that contributes to the growth not only of the community but also of the municipality.

Initially, it was necessary to carry out soil studies to review its physical characteristics and obtain the bearing capacity of the subgrade, on the other hand, the climatological variables of temperature and average annual precipitation were analyzed and finally the vehicular composition and the population through the censuses provided by DANE in order to obtain the growth rate required to calculate the number of equivalent axes.

It should be noted that the design methodologies used are SHELL, which is based on evaluating the state of stresses and deformations induced by traffic, weather, among others, and PCA, which analyzes fatigue and erosion in rigid pavements. Finally, the most suitable structure for the sector was selected, taking into account a pavement that requires less maintenance and a longer useful life.
