Que es un paviento rigido

Formado por una losa de concreto de cemento Prtland sobre una base, sub
base o directamente sobre la sub rasante. Trasmite directamente los esfuerzos
al suelo de forma minimizada, es auto resistente
Estos pavimentos tienen suficiente fuerza de flexin para transmitir la carga de
la llanta a un rea mas amplia en la capa inferior.
El anlisis se hace usando la teora de placas en vez de la teora de capas
usada en los pavimentos flexibles
Estructura de un pavimento rigido

Tipos de pavimentos rigidos:

Losas de Concreto Simple (JPCP)
Pavimentos construidos con concreto simple y con juntas de contraccin
espaciadas de manera continua (5 a 10 metros) Barras de refuerzo o
mecanismos de agarre son usados para transferir la carga de una capa a otra.

Losas de Concreto Reforzado (JRCP)

Las losas son reforzadas con barras de acero, que aunque no aumentan la
capacidad portante de la losa, aumenta el espaciamiento de las juntas de 10 m
a 30 m.

Pavimento Continuamente Reforzado (CRCP)

Proceso mecanizado en la cual se eliminan las juntas de contraccin

VENTAJAS
Por su color claro la visibilidad en la noche es buena El costo de conservacin
es pequeo, su vida es larga (puede llegar a 30 aos y puede sobrepasar esta
cifra) Debido a su rigidez requiere poco espesor para distribuir la carga a la
sub- rasante
DESVENTAJAS
Elevado costo inicial, su costo de construccin es alto por lo tanto su uso a sido
limitado a obras especificas El color claro que presenta permite reflejar la luz
del sol afectando al usuario (da) El efecto de sonoridad que se siente al
avanzar en la va.

Conclusiones

PAVIMENTO RGIDO
Es aquel que tiene una losa de concreto hidraulico como superficie de rodadura
en donde transitan los vehculos. Esta por lo general dispuesta sobre una base
que puede ser granunal o estabilizada. EL nombre pavimento rigidos se refiere
a pavimentos que son pocos flexibles ante las cargas debido a la rigidez que

tiene la losa de concreto en comparacin a una mezcla asfltica o de

pavimento flexible. El concreto hidrulico es el principal componente de los pav
rigidos.

ESTRUCTURA DE UN PAVIMENTO RIGIDO

Subbase

Estabilizada con cemento o asfalto

No estabilizada

To prepare for paving, the subgradethe native soil on which the pavement is builtmust
be graded and compacted. Preparation of the subgrade is often followed by the placing of
a subbasea layer of material that lies immediately below the concrete. The essential
function of the subbase is to prevent the displacement of soil from underneath the
pavement. Subbases may be constructed of granular materials, cement-treated materials,
lean concrete, or open-graded, highly-permeable materials, stabilized or unstabilized.
Once the subbase has hardened sufficiently to resist marring or distortion by construction
traffic, dowels, tiebars, or reinforcing steel are placed and properly aligned in preparation
for paving.
Subbase Background/Requirements
Engineered subbases are appropriate when a stable and uniform construction
platform is needed to achieve the specified levels of pavement smoothness
and/or when the combination of subgrade soil type, water availability, and

high-speed, heavy vehicle traffic are at a level that is conducive to cause

pumping and any associated distresses. Therefore, a subbase is a required
element for concrete pavements designed for major, heavily-traveled
pavements, particularly those carrying large numbers of trucks.
Pavements for slow-moving trucks or light-traffic pavements, such as
residential streets, secondary roads, parking lots, and auto-only (high-speed)
roadways, are not prone to the development of pumping. A subbase is not
warranted for pumping protection in such applications because these facilities
are not subject to the pavement deflection and rebound that high-speed, heavy
wheel loads cause. Specifically, the following conditions render subbases
unnecessary with regards to pumping:
Traffic A pavement expected to carry 200 trucks per day or fewer generally
does not require a subbase to prevent pumping. Also, pavements that are
designed to carry less than 1,000,000 18-kip (80 kN) ESALs during their
service life do not require subbases to prevent pumping damage.
Natural Drainage A subgrade soil that is naturally free draining typically will
not pump because water percolates through the subgrade and does not remain
directly underneath the pavement where it can transport fine materials in
suspension. Pavements may be built directly on natural subgrade soils with this
characteristic as long as the soil is satisfactory in other critical regards (e.g.,
frost action and expansion)
. Qualified Subgrade Soils Subgrade soils with less than 45% passing a No.
200 (75 m) sieve and with a plasticity index of 6 or less are adequate for
moderate volumes of heavy truck traffic without the use of a subbase layer. In
these cases, it is advisable to use dowelled joints even in slabs that are just
7 or 8 in. (175 or 200 mm) thick to prevent differential deflections at slab
joints.
Unstabilized subbases are more common for low to medium volume (e.g., city
and municipal streets) roadways and stabilized subbases are more common for
high volume (e.g., interstate highways) roadways.

CLASIFICACIN DE PAVIMENTOS RGIDOS

Plain pavements with dowels that use dowels to provide load transfer and
prevent faulting,

Plain pavements without dowels, in which aggregate interlock transfers

loads across joints and prevents faulting,

Conventionally reinforced pavements that contain steel reinforcement and

use dowels in contraction joints, and

Continuously reinforced pavements that have no contraction joints and are

reinforced with continuous longitudinal steel.

CONSTRUCCIN DE PAVIMENTOS MANUAL O CON PAVIMENTADORA

There are two methods for paving with concreteslipform and fixed form. In
slipform paving, a machine rides on treads over the area to be pavedsimilar to a
train moving on a set of tracks. Fresh concrete is deposited in front of the paving
machine which then spreads, shapes, consolidates, screeds, and float finishes the
concrete in one continuous operation. This operation requires close coordination
between the concrete placement and the forward speed of the paver.

In fixed-form paving, stationary metal forms are set and aligned on a solid
foundation and staked rigidly. Final preparation and shaping of the subgrade or
subbase is completed after the forms are set. Forms are cleaned and oiled first to
ensure that they release from the concrete after the concrete hardens. Once
concrete is deposited near its final position on the subgrade, spreading is
completed by a mechanical spreader riding on top of the preset forms and the
concrete. The spreading machine is followed by one or more machines that shape,
consolidate, and float finish the concrete. After the concrete has reached a required
strength, the forms are removed and curing of the edges begins immediately.
