Résumé:
The process of maintenance of urban roads shows technical difficulties to delineate a specific plan that can be
used during the elaboration of guidelines for evaluation and restoration of pavements. Most field decisions on
pavement maintenance, such as repairs in the drainage facilities, although aiming to soive an immediate solution
for some problems, however, with arguable effectiveness. The origins of the problems are associates the
parameters that demand deepened studies, on cause and effect, what without this knowledge it can be
contributed for the aggravation and the sprouting of other problems. The objective of this work consists of
considering a method of evaluation, maintenance and restoration of the conditions of surface of pavements of
urban ways, that serves of base to define the standards and causes of the defects of the surface of the floors, as
weil as suggestions for its corrections. The employed methodology is based on the capture of photographic
registers of the defects of surface of existing flexible pavements in the Campina Grande city, with posterior
analysis, through consultation the norms of the ABNT, specific references, manual of the DNIT, of the AASHTO,
SHRP, SHAHIN, and others. As final results, one got an inventory of the surface defects and a manual of
evaluation, maintenance and restoration of the conditions of surface of urban pavements of the Campina Grande
city with definition, cause, levels of deterioration, measurement and suggestion for corrections. Of this the
elaborated Manual consists of a promising tool for the activities of maintenance of urban pavements, and to give
to the technician of public and private agencies subsidies for improvement of the conditions of urban ways of
more efficient form.
