Dimensionamento de pavimentos em vias urbanas: estudo de caso da rua Valentim de Castro, Marechal Deodoro-AL

Abstract

Urban development in a disorderly way is one of the main problems inserted in everyday life, since its expansion is associated with population growth and its implications, as in the need for the elevation of commerce and consequent interconnection of the extremes of cities, towns and neighborhoods. In reflection of this, it is possible to identify the lack of paving throughout the Brazilian territory, generating discomfort and a series of consequences caused by the prioritization of a short-term need over long-term ones. Thus, they are commonly seen, as is the case of the village of Barra Nova, in Marechal Deodoro, streets that do not have any adequate infrastructure, compromising the adequacy of all means of transport and, being, elevated as a result of the natural phenomena that amplify the flooding, the fragility of the layers, the lack of living space, the lack of accessibility and the wear and tear caused to the vehicles. Therefore, in order to promote the change of this reality and the improvement of the quality of life, this work aims to design the paving of Valentim de Castro street, in Barra Nova. Therefore, for its effectiveness to be provided, studies are necessary regarding the geometry of the platform, the traffic existing on the road and to data provided on the geotechnical study of roads of a similar character. Thus, proposals for sizing will be made in front of the coatings made possible by the analyzed characteristics of the study pathway.
