Resumen
In the present degree work, we perform the evaluation of the functional and structural
conditions of the section between the abscissas 107 + 000 to 117 + 000 of the
track Cuenca - Molleturo - Naranjal. Based on this analysis, it is sought to determine
if there is a relationship between the functional and structural characteristics in said
track. The functional evaluation has been based on obtaining the Condition Index of
the Pavement (PCI), which is based on the direct observation of present pathologies
on the surface of the pavement; whereas, the structural evaluation starts from the
determination of the reaction modulus of the subgrade and the modulus of elasticity
of the concrete slab. To carry out this analysis the FWD impact de
ectometer has
been used, whose results allow the evaluation of the structural condition by means
of the AASHTO method, in addition, the Elmod 6 software was used to obtain a
second analysis of the modulus of elasticity of the slab of concrete. The results of
this work show, in terms of the functional evaluation, that the section of the analyzed
route is in its entirety in good conditions with a PCI index equal to 72. On the
other hand, the structural evaluation determined that the reaction module of the
subgrade quali es as High and Very High, allowing to con rm that the track is in
good structural condition. In the same way, the calculation of the modulus of elasticity
resulted in values that are within the appropriate range. Finally, after making
a series of correlations between the functional and structural parameters it was not
possible to nd a direct relationship between them.
