Avaliação das condições de superfícies de pavimentos asfálticos na área rural do município de Entre Rios do Oeste-PR

Abstract

In Brazilian municipalities where the agricultural economy predominates, the infrastructure of rural roads is of paramount importance for the social and economic development of the municipalities. Their good conditions guarantee the complete flow of production and bring greater safety and comfort to vehicle traffic. However, we are often faced with roads in precarious and even abandoned conditions. This study aimed to determine the degree of deterioration by counting and classifying surface defects, evaluating traffic conditions and carrying out a volumetric count of the same, in addition to developing a digital collection and monitoring the development of existing pathological manifestations on rural roads located in the interior of the municipality of Entre Rios do Oeste. For the evaluation of the course of study, the method established in the DNIT 006/2003 – PRO standard was followed, based on the terminologies of the DNIT 005/2003 – TER standard. Having as results the IGGs found: 196.2 (Linha Boa Esperança), 194 (Linha Felicidade), 176.7 (Linha Golondrina), 106 (Linha Vista Alegre) and 225 (Linha Volta Gaúcha), which classified them with concept bad and terrible in its state of conservation. Finally, a general diagnosis of the highway was carried out, obtaining traffic composition data, in addition to monitoring defects. From this, it was possible to determine the causes of the pathologies, namely: excess traffic and load, inefficiency or lack of maintenance, inexistence or inefficiency of drainage systems and poor compaction or priming.
