Avaliação do estado da superfície da estrada nacional - 240 Pambara , Vilankulo - EN240

Abstract

The objective of this graduation work was to evaluate the pavement surface condition road 240 (EN240), single carriageway and two-way, based on the physical of the pavement. The fieldwork was developed over a period of three days corresponding to the month of October 2013, starting on the 9th and ending on the 11th of October of the same year. The method developed was based on the investigation of the profile and physical characteristics of the highway based on the practical experience and knowledge of professionals who work in the area of roads. The proposed method is called the Pavement Condition pavement condition index (PCI), which is intended to reflect the hidden condition of the of road segments. As a result of the application of the proposed method, we have the profile of road sections, through which it is possible to identify those sections which present deficiency in traffic safety condition, and the conclusion was reached that the most critical most critical plots of the EN240 are: Bridge - Faiquete; Faiquete - Vilankulo Madeira and Vilankulo Madeira - Monument with 82,2%, 85,9% and 84,9% of the defective pavement respectively, presents 33.3% of medium severity defects and 26.9% of high severity.
