Avaliação das condições de superfície do pavimento flexível de um trecho da Rua Rio Brilhante, Dourados, MS

Abstract

Despite being a fundamental element for the economic development of urban spaces, much of the Brazilian road network does not have appropriate conditions of trafficability. In this article, we tried to evaluate the surface conditions of a section of the flexible pavement of Rio Brilhante street, located in the city of Dourados-MS. Two methods of evaluation of the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT) for road pavements were used: Objective Surface Evaluation, to determine the Global Severity Index (DNIT 006/2003-PRO) and Subjective Surface Evaluation, to obtain the Current Service Value (DNIT 009/2003-PRO). The result of this work evidences the need of a pavement management plan with focus on the maintenance and conservation of Brazilian highways and urban roads.
