Diseño de paneles dinamicos de hormigon con dowells para vias de primer orden

Abstract

Local governments tend to opt more for the cost of a civil project than for the design, without paying much attention to the details and technical analysis that the case entails, this can lead to a much more significant expense in the long term when carrying out regular maintenance or even have a shorter useful life than expected in said infrastructure. That is why it is very important more than the value, it is the previous technical analysis, type of work and utility. These details serve to consider with more reason, the use of rigid pavement in all the main roads of the country, especially the first order roads that are the ones that connect cities and serve for the economic and industrial growth of the business sector, as they are the most used for the transport of products that involve all economic activity, and for this reason they make use of heavy transport and that a rigid pavement would be a good choice as they are more durable, less maintenance, firm and have a much longer useful life, something that with a flexible pavement would not be achieved in the long term. For this reason, this investigative work is based on national and international construction standards for the design and construction of rigid pavements, also implementing the placement of load transfer bars, or also called Dowells or Dovelas, which will also be analyzed for a correct choice. of the same according to the characteristics of the land and dimensions of the pavement panels.
