Avaliação da condição de superfície do pavimento – estudo de caso: Rua Hugo Corrêa Paes

Abstract

Road infrastructure is a fundamental piece for the functioning of the Brazilian economy and for tour logistics. The country has more than half of its highways in unpleasant conditions. Poor pavement quality can negatively influence travel time, vehicle lifespan, fuel consumption and the safety of those who use it. Therefore, planning is necessary to maintain the good quality of the pavement. This work aims to functionally evaluate, following the DNIT 008/2003 and DNIT 009/2003 standards, the conditions of a local road, Street Hugo Corrêa Paes, in the city of Maceió, and also to assess the International Roughness Index using the SmartIRI application. The result is a catalog with several pathological manifestations (mainly high occurrence of patches), pavement condition parameters (VSA=2, IGGE=114, ICPF=2, IES=10), an average of the IRI along the road of 4,3495 and guidance towards a viable solution for recovering the defects, which would be the miling of the existing pavement, followed by leveling and the execution of a new CA layer to remedy the pathologies.
