Propuesta de diseño de vía de acceso para centro de convenciones Universidad Nacional de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The research developed a proposal for the design of an access road to the convention center of the Universidad Nacional de Loja. The process began with a reconnaissance tour of the construction site, where the need to improve the structural design of the existing road was determined. For the design of the flexible pavement, the AASHTO 93 method was applied, taking into account the projected traffic and soil characteristics. Soil studies, geotechnical tests and pavement performance analysis were carried out. These studies made it possible to identify the appropriate materials and thicknesses to guarantee the stability and durability of the road over time. In addition, an appropriate drainage system was designed to prevent water damage to the road infrastructure. Thanks to this comprehensive approach, which included the analysis of all relevant factors, we were able to develop a road design that meets the safety and efficiency standards required for its future implementation. This project not only optimizes the space for the convention center, but also contributes to improve the sustainability and functionality of the university environment as a whole.
