Resumo:
The bonding layer of pavements ensures the integrity and connection between
their layers. This connection forms a monolithic structure that allows uniform
deformation conditions. Additionally, it keeps the layers bonded even under external
forces, thereby preventing slippage or premature fatigue cracking. This contributes
directly to increasing the pavement's service life. Currently, several tests are available to
evaluate bonding properties, such as Leutner, ASTRA, LPDS, and FDOT, with the direct
shear strength test using the Leutner method being the most commonly used. It is known
that this condition is affected by various factors and that pavements are subjected to
dynamic rather than static loading. This study investigated the adhesion of pavement
layers using different types of asphalt emulsions and temperatures through dynamic and
static shear strength tests. A factorial design was carried out for two types of flexible
pavements, involving independent and dependent variables influencing bond behavior.
Statistical inferences using ANOVA showed that temperature variation was the only
variable with a significant effect. Among the emulsions studied (RR-1C, RR-2C, RC-
1CE), RR-1C demonstrated the best performance. Subsequently, dynamic tests were
performed on the interfaces of pavements PAV01 and PAV02 with the RR-1C emulsion
applied at 0.25 l/m² and at temperatures of 25°C, 35.5°C, and 46°C. At 25°C, the results
indicated that PAV02 exhibited slightly higher resistance than PAV01. At 35.5°C, both
pavements showed reduced durability, although PAV02 remained more robust. At 46°C,
PAV02 demonstrated greater vulnerability, with a sharper decline in resistance compared
to PAV01, suggesting that PAV02 is more effective at low and intermediate temperatures,
while PAV01 performs better under extreme temperatures. Finally, upon analyzing the
results and evaluating the portal test, it can be concluded that the data presentation and
trends are consistent. Both static and dynamic tests yielded parameters similar to those
described in national and international literature, confirming the reliability and relevance
of the presented data and the methodology employed.
