DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UM TRAÇO DE MASSA ASFÁLTICA PARA SERVIÇOS DE REPAROS EM VIAS URBANAS NO MUNICÍPIO DE VARGINHA MG

Abstract

This study aims to present a systematic approach to the development of an asphalt mixture design intended for pothole repairs in urban roads, focusing on the municipality of Varginha, MG, which represents a significant technical and practical challenge in pavement engineering. The challenges faced in urban pavement are diverse and range from the need to ensure the durability of roads to maintenance over time. Common challenges in urban pavement include the need for effective intervention to preserve road quality. Subsequently, the study presents the main techniques and materials used in pavement repair, with a special focus on Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), where DNIT guidelines for the use of these materials are discussed. Finally, the study proposes a methodology for the development of the asphalt mixture design, considering aspects such as material durability, accessibility of materials used, and compliance with technical standards established by DNIT. It is expected that this study will contribute to the improvement of urban road infrastructure in Varginha, MG, and serve as a basis for future research in the field of pavement engineering.
