AVALIAÇÃO SUPERFICIAL E PROPOSTA DE SOLUÇÃO DAS PATOLOGIAS DO PAVIMENTO FLEXÍVEL NA AVENIDA XV DE NOVEMBRO LOCALIZADA NA CIDADE DE ILICÍNEA – MG

Abstract

The situation of the Brazilian roads is considered precarious due to factors such as lack of proper maintenance, high vehicle growth, difficulty in imposing good conditions for traffic and lack of investments to recover the road network. These factors contribute greatly to the increase of pathologies in pavements over their useful life. In this context, the objective of this work is to identify the pathologies of flexible pavement and to propose solutions for Avenida XV de Novembro, in Ilicínea - MG. To achieve the proposed objective, a survey was made, through photographic record, of the types of pathologies and inadequacies of pavement conservation on that avenue. Then, using the Current Servant Value Index (VSA), stretches of 200 meters each were evaluated, giving grades between 0 and 5. Subsequently, using the manual counting method, the average daily volume (VMD) of vehicles traveling on the avenue was determined to determine the “N” number. Then, adopting the normative concepts of DNIT and IPs 02/2004 and 05/2004 of the São Paulo City Hall, two proposals for the pavement recovery of Avenida XV de Novembro are presented with the purpose of increasing its useful life. Finally, a survey was made of the costs of materials needed to carry out these proposals in comparison with the amounts spent by the City Hall on road interventions during the project's lifetime
