SOFTPAVE: estudo e desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta para o auxílio à dosagem de misturas asfálticas pelo método SUPERPAVE.

Abstract

As the Technology of Information (TI) develops, the companies follow up the growth and make use of this tool integrating it with their inputs and services, as example, the use of softwares that automate their processes. The following paper had as objective the development of a computational tool (software) order to enable an analysis of techniques, materials, criteria, normalizations, procedures and results obtained with the project of Dosage of Asphaltic Concrete through the method SUPERPAVE. In the development of the software SOFTPAVE the model of Prototipation was used to give the users an application and an interface with physical representation of the major aspects of the implementation system of the Dosage. It is possible to conclude that the SOFTPAVE is able to determinate, within the criteria recommended by Brazilian and American standards, the ideal proportion of binding agent for the asphaltic mixtures, designed to meet the requirements regarding mechanical properties, to be developed in research labs, and that present successful results in field.
