Abstract

Since the human being had the need to move from one place to another quickly and reliably, the pavement is created in order to facilitate the transport of people and goods, deriving various types of structures with their own characteristics. Rigid pavement, due to its properties, has a greater participation in road construction since it provides high resistance in bearing loads, greater durability and little maintenance. Technological development optimizes study, design and construction processes by offering tools that include the use of finite elements, such as EverFe 2.26. This software allows to analyze a rigid pavement structure composed of subgrade, granular subbase and hydraulic concrete slabs, determining forces and deflections caused by friction factors, warping and traffic loads; that, for the object and methodology of the study, two types of scenarios are formulated: 1. Analysis of design parameters for only one slab and 2. Analysis of design parameters for a set of slabs using segments and tie bars. The results given will be a point of comparison to determine maximum efforts and deflections in both scenarios, directly obtaining the justification of the important use of load transmission elements and the essentials of the application of finite elements when designing rigid pavement structures, since the behavior of the same is studied in depth obtaining real results of greater precision.
