Abstract:
The paving of roads and highways is essential for better quality road transport of people and
goods around the world. The development of technologies for better comfort and durability
goes back to the times of Ancient Rome. In Brazil, 60% of freight and passengers are carried
on highways, being a country of continent territories, with a diversity of species, pedological
and geological, it is of great relevance for the study and separation between the new methods
of mechanistic DNIT design which is based on two main criteria of rupture, the method being
updated in Brazil, and the method of empirical design adopted by the DNER, applied in the
1960s by the engineer Murillo Lopes de Souza, in which the capacity of support of subbed, as
measured by the CBR. The present work has owned the objective of analyzing, dimensioning
and comparing the methods of sizing exchange rate indicators, with the help of data from the
Pavement Engineering Laboratory-LEP / UFCG, Campina Grande-PB, on the PB-138 linking
Campina Grande / Catolé de Boa Vista-PB to Boa Vista-PB.With the help of the data, it was
possible to size the pavement with the aid of the MeDiNa program and to carry out a comparison
between the two sizing methods
