Analysis of the correlation between the condition of urban pavements and elements of the drainage system

Abstract

The research in question aimed to analyze the correlation between the pavement condition index and the condition of two surface drainage elements: culverts and gutters. The study was carried out from the analysis of 19 stretches, distributed by the neighborhood of Tambaú, in João Pessoa-PB. The calculation for the condition of the pavements was carried out using the PCI method and the condition of the drainage elements was verified through subjective analysis. The research results showed when the elements fit or not in the ideal conditions, and although the drainage elements are considered in the performance of the pavements, the statistical evaluation showed a weak correlation between the condition of the pavements and the evaluated drainage elements.
