Plan de mantenimiento para estructuras de pavimento mediante la inspección visual de daños en 5 vías de la ciudad de Villavicencio - Meta

Abstract

The city of Villavicencio is constantly developing and therefore the road network must be in excellent condition and go hand in hand with the progress of the city. However, the secondary network of roads that the municipality has is not in the optimal conditions to provide adequate service. That is why it was proposed to carry out an adequate maintenance plan by means of a damage survey and analysis of these in the length of each road having a total of 2 km.

From the visual inspection the survey was made, the faults present were identified with their severity level in order to define the appropriate maintenance plan to prolong the life of the pavement structures.

The damage registry and analysis were made using the method of the National Roads Institute (INVIAS), in which every meter of the road was inspected reflecting the damages found in the format regulated by INVIAS. The results obtained from the project show the deterioration of pavement structures; where in the rigid pavement it has more than 70% of affected area in each road that presents this type of structure. On the other hand, the flexible pavement has an area of 169 square meters with damages that generate inconveniences in the vehicular flow.

For each road, a maintenance plan was carried out, where the deteriorations with the highest level of severity found in the area were highlighted, with this aim to increase the structural capacity of the roads and minimize maintenance and construction costs.
