Diseño de la estructura de Pavimento Rígido por medio del método PCA y el método AASHTO de la vía ubicada en la calle 5 entre la carrera 11 y la carrera 5, del barrio Pescaíto de la ciudad de Santa Marta – Magdalena, para análisis y selección del diseño adecuado

Rigid Pavements are the most common option to implement in the construction of roads in residential areas, their behavior is adequate for their timely use when being implemented in this sector of the country's roads, however, it is essential to highlight that Both the design and construction conditions for Rigid Pavements are crucial when it comes to making the most of the different advantages they offer, such as their long useful life, technical criteria and economic factors, as well as the process of construction of the structure. of Concrete Pavements is in a single stage, so it does not generate doubts about its long-term behavior, omitting routine overlays because they are not necessary for its correct level of service. The design process of Rigid Pavements is generally based on empirical methodologies such as the PCA design process and the AASTHO design process that focused on determining the different variables such as: Climate, Regional Conditions, Traffic and Material Properties, which They would be involved in the execution of the pavement structure to establish the behaviors that could vary with respect to these parameters and quantify results such as Fatigue and Erosion to determine the characteristics of the design. At the time of construction of Rigid Pavements, it is considerably favored for secondary or tertiary roads, thanks to its characteristics that contribute to its being able to be executed with very simple means, easy-to-reach tools, simple equipment, abundant requirement of low-skilled labor. and fast construction, in addition to its cost in comparison with Flexible Pavements are considerably lower.
