EL ESPESOR DEL FIRME ES AJUSTABLE SEGÚN EL TRÁFICO Y EL CLIMA PARA CONSEGUIR UNA CARRETERA DURADERA, ECONÓMICA Y SOSTENIBLE.
En Bélgica para una autopista (clase B1) el espesor de un firme de hormigón y el de un firme asfáltico será similar, pero para una carretera con una categoría de tráfico menor (clase B5 e incluso B9) puede haber diferencias sustanciales. Con un firme de hormigón el espesor estructural nunca será menor a 180 mm, mientras que con asfalto se puede recurrir a espesores mínimos inferiores, tanto para construcciones por etapas como para carreteras de menor volumen de tráfico.

Increases in the European road freight transport, vehicles weight and frequency of extreme climatic events are deteriorating the European road network at an anomalously fast rate, bringing it close to the end of its service life and requiring more frequent maintenance operations. In this unfavourable scenario, road transport is also nowadays experiencing one of the greatest revolutions of its history, with the arrival of new users, such as the autonomous, electric and high-capacity vehicles, which will help mankind to fight Climate Change and increase road safety. However, all these new vehicles have also characteristics, which may reduce the durability of the road pavements. This third video of the EAPA Series “Generation Asphalt”, analyses the potential risks of the new mobility and how the asphalt industry is getting ready for the challenge.
