Propuesta de un falso túnel atirantado como solución a deslizamientos en la carretera Cuenca - Molleturo.

Abstract

The present degree project analyzes and studies the use of a false anchored tunnel as a solution to the problem of landslides and rockfall that causes disruption on the Cuenca - Molleturo roads on a daily basis and occasionally could lead to loss of human lives. This work will respect the existing works at the study site carried out by the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP). To achieve this, an exhaustive literature review is conducted, encompassing the theoretical principles and methodological approaches of false anchored tunnel proposals for the treatment of unstable slopes. The purpose is the proposal of an adaptation of said correct solution for the situation of the area under study on the Cuenca-Molleturo highway. The schematic approach and experimental exploration of the false anchored tunnel application is achieved through laboratory testing, graphical representations, and visual photographs of the study area. Therefore, it is recommended to consider factors such as weathering, seismic movements, and climatic conditions. The proposal for the false anchored tunnel is both viable and sustainable, as it considers the existing works as a complement.
