    “DIMCUNET” Programa de cálculo para el dimensionamiento de cunetas de recolección de aguas lluvias, en vías urbanas y carreteras
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Ramos Rivera, Dina Marcela; Marbello Pérez, Ramiro Vicente
    The National Roads Institute (INVIAS, for its acronym in Spanish) presented the Road drainage manual, document used as a guide for the design of hydraulic structures related to road infrastructure. It presents and recommends for Colombia the design for ditches with the triangular geometric section for being the most practical, simple to build and for which you need less area. The manual also presents other geometric sections, but without the corresponding design equations for each type of ditch, leaving the sizing of these structures at the discretion of the designers. Some professionals and consulting firms commonly use spreadsheets to perform these calculations. This implies significant work for the use to understand, establish the validity of each programmed cell, verify the relevance and applicability of these calculations, with the motivation of preventing these applications from becoming black box models. Not to mention that aspects such as hypotheses, limitations, restrictions are not appreciable in this type of document. For this reason, it is necessary to implement a software that allows to optimize time and at the same time an application that has the design equations for different forms of cross sections of ditches.

    Manual de diseño de vías urbanas
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Correa Montoya, Mariana; Agudelo Ospina, John Jairo
    The urban road design manual has been written based on the recommendations of the Manual de Diseño Geométrico de Vías, published in 2008 by the Instituto Nacional de Vías of Colombia, on the compilation of different books and publications on road design, the experience acquired by the author throughout her professional performance and the experience acquired by the project tutor as one of the most recognized road design engineers. The manual covers several aspects to take into account when conceiving an urban road, but focuses mainly on geometric design. This manual is presented in a clear and concise way, without leaving aside the technical, so that it is easier to access and interpret for various users.
