Evaluación y diagnóstico de la capacidad hidráulica del sistema de drenaje en la vía Cuenca-Machala del km 25 al km 50, en función de las condiciones de escurrimiento actuales.

Abstract

Abstract:The adequate projection of the drainage system, is fundamental for the operation and satisfactory duration of the road works. This implies that the initial conditions used in the design determine success in achieving this goal, at least at the office level. The studies corresponding to the year 2002 of the Cuenca-Machala way are available, the same ones that were analyzed, with respect to hydrological component focused to the most influential transverse drainage of kilometer 25 to 50, and contrasted for the present date abiding by the which indicates the current road regulations. Verified that the precipitations of study area increase in relation to the precipitations of initial study, in the same way there are changes in the coverage of the soils, that mean in the increase of the runoff in the different hydrographic basins analyzed, generating a forecast of peak flow greater than estimated in the studies of the year 2002. On virtue of that, the present study contributes to the update and recommendations in improving the hydraulic capacities of the influential transversal drainage elements of the influential under study.
