Estudo de caso das intervenções de conservação rodoviária na BR-153 no estado de Goiás no trecho: Hidrolândia/Professor Jamil

Abstract

The main transport matrix used in Brazil is road transport, and the good rolling condition of Brazilian highways is directly linked to both user safety and development at satisfactory levels of the various sectors of the economy dependent on it. Despite this, what is seen in the majority of cases is the suction of these highways, being easily found holes and other defects in the pavement that does not receive the proper maintenance and conservation routines due to the poor management or lack of the necessary investments to maintain the standards of desired quality. This scenario has been reduced in frequency with the privatization of these investments through highway concessions, but there is still a need for improvement given the potential of these companies to properly manage investments in the highway and the frequente defects in pavements. In view of this, this work aims to analyze a critical section of BR-153, located between the cities of Hidrolândia / GO, starting at km 517 + 300, and Professor Jamil/ GO, finishing at km 576 + 000. From the data made available by the concessionaire, the recurrence of interventions in the stretch was raised, as well as the identification of projected an existing characteristics and the functional and structural performance of a critical segment, thus verifying the effectiveness of the services.
