Abstract

DOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/ig.v8i15.0234

This study analyzes the design of culverts for the state road network E20, Quinindé – Esmeraldas section, in Esmeraldas Province, Ecuador. The research is justified by the need to protect road infrastructure from runoff damage caused by heavy rainfall in the region. Objectives include the sizing of culverts to mitigate the impact of water flows. A hydrological analysis and generalized rational methodology were used, considering topographic and climatological data. Key findings demonstrate the feasibility of an efficient design for drainage and structural damage mitigation on the road. In conclusion, the proposed design will optimize maintenance resources and enhance infrastructure durability.

Keywords: Hydraulic design, culverts, state road network, sizing, runoff, damage mitigation.
