Análise comparativa técnico-econômica entre a pavimentação asfáltica e a pavimentação com blocos de concreto intertravados

Abstract

Urban infrastructure, especially pavement, is fundamental for the well-being and socioeconomic development of Brazilian citizens, making the analysis of the best methods to meet these demands relevant. This study aims to evaluate the differences, advantages, and disadvantages between asphalt concrete pavement and concrete interlocking block pavement in Rio Branco do Sul, Paraná. The city, with its relevance in mineral extraction and cement production, faces challenges due to its rugged geography. The debate between asphalt pavement and interlocking block pavement is common, considering factors such as cost, durability, and maintenance. Twelve streets were selected for comparison between asphalt pavement and concrete block pavement, taking into account the specific characteristics of the city terrain. After analyzing pathologies, durability, comfort, deadlines, and costs, it is recommended to use interlocking block pavement on streets with complex geometry and lower traffic, while asphalt pavement is preferable on streets with higher traffic and smoother slope. In terms of cost, interlocking block pavement is advantageous, while asphalt pavement stands out for its speed of execution. These considerations provide important subsidies for choosing the most appropriate method in each situation.
