Avaliação estrutural de pavimento através de ensaio pressiométrico, ensaio de placa e CBR "in situ" em trecho rodoviário no Estado de Alagoas.

Abstract

In this work are presented the results made "in situ" and laboratory essays, using the Pressuremeter of Briaud, Plate-loading tests and CBR, objectifying to analyze the results obtained in the different essays to proceed a structural evaluation of the constituent layers of the pavement. It is presented a preliminary bibliographical revision being given emphasis mainly to the theoretical procedures for interpretations of the experiments, description of the equipments and use methodology. Next a general vision was carried out, involving the environmental characteristics of the área where the highway, object of the research, is located as well as the systematic used in the characterization and definition of the resistance and strain parameters of the materiais found in thelayers of the pavement. The obtained results "in situ" involving 79 (seventy nine) essays of CBR, 46 (forty six) load tests on plates and 56 (fifry six) pressuremeter tests allowed an evaluation of the behavior ofthe pavement under qualitative viewpoint. Finally, they were obtained significant correlations among the resulting parameters of CBR, plate-loading and pressuremeter tests.
