Desarrollo de una guía práctica para el uso del software “dispav-5 3.0”, aplicada en un pavimento flexible

Abstract

The Dispav-5 3.0 program. It is a modern update to improve the performance of its interrelationship in collecting data and displaying results in the development of a pavement design, both for new and already constructed roads. In our environment there is no guide for using the Dispav-5 3.0 program since the software was created in Mexico by the National Autonomous University of Mexico, for the design of a flexible pavement. The objective of this work is to prepare a guide for the use of the “Dispav-5 3.0” software, using data from a real road for its flexible pavement design, in addition to the verification of said calculation. By following this software guide, we will have one more tool to design a flexible pavement. This mechanical analysis software evaluates the reaction of the pavement to the forces exerted by the tires. The response of the pavement is characterized by parameters such as stress, deformation and displacement. These results are valuable for anticipating pavement durability in relation to fatigue and rutting. The program is free and can be downloaded by visiting the National Autonomous University of Mexico website.
