Estudo comparativo da degradação de pontes de concreto armado e mistas nos Estados do Ceará e Amazonas

Abstract

In the present work, they are dealt with the main pathological occurrences in bridges in the States of the Ceará and Amazonas, aiming at to subsidize the involved professionals with projects of road bridges and, also, to contribute with the prevention of future pathologies. The necessity of this study elapses of the high number of pathological occurrences in road workmanships in Brazil that has demanded a sufficiently significant cost as for the recovery and/or reinforcement of this type of structure. Seventy four pertaining bridges to highways CE-060, CE-292, CE-359 and CE-386, components of the road mesh of the State of the Ceará, and AM-010, BR-319 and BR-174 had been inspected, components of the road mesh of the State of Amazonas. The methodology adopted in the research passed for the understanding, data-collecting, evaluation and comparison of the pathologies, it’s when inserted manifestations and causes in two half environments. It was contemplated, in the development of the research, the creation of a specific computational system to manage works of art road. They consist, still, considerations techniques for improvement of the quality of future workmanships of the sort, in an attempt to contribute with the security and functionality of the works of art in Brazil, being extended the useful life of this type of structure.
