Functional Evaluation Of Pathologies In Flexible Pavement

Abstract

Highways are of essential importance, since they are the main mode of transportation in the country, with a vast territorial extension of roads. However, many of these highways present some kind of alteration in their initial shape. The concept of paving, pathologies and their causes, as well as their recovery, are thus constituted. These problems were visually evaluated according to the Asphalt Pavement Restoration Manual of the DNIT (National Department of Transportation Infrastructure) in accordance with the TER 005/2003 and PRO 009/2003 standards, in a different area of the city of Manaus, namely the South Zone, consisting of the roads of the Industrial Complex, which allows the transportation of containerized cargo to the ports. The results, based on the visual surveys carried out and the current serviceability values, indicated roads with a concept between bad and regular.
