Evaluación de la superficie de pavimento de la vía Loja - Zamora, abscisas 0+000 57+000.

Abstract

Abstract:Pavement deterioration includes constant physical condition, which must be monitored because traffic and weather affect the weather. The evaluation of the functional capacity is necessary because it is presented as an alternative that allows to determine the damages in the pavement. The objective of this work is to evaluate the pavement surface of the Loja Zamora road to determine the variation of deterioration in the years 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019 and relate them to the TPDA, applying the PCI methodology, described by the ASTM D 6433 standard. In order to evaluate the 57 km road, a visual inspection of the surface is initiated, the road is divided into random sample sections, by means of the identification of sections, the faults are identified, severity, quantity of the units under analysis with their respective georeferencing. Obtaining a PCI value of 63 that corresponds to a good state. The Annual Average Daily Transit is analyzed, resulting in a value of 2376 mixed vehicles/day, in order to relate these two variables and propose a deterioration model. KEYWORDS:.
