Resumo

Presently in Brazil, there is a real difficulty to reuse solid waste. Among them, the phosphogypsum, a byproduct of phosphatic acid production. The huge deposits of this waste become problematic both environmentally and economically. Therefore, researches are being conducted to find a reuse of this material in geotechnical engineering. In the specific case of its application in paving, beyond reuse waste, seek to reduce the exploitation of natural materials, traditionally used in construction of roads. Laboratory tests showed the possibility of use of phosphogypsum in paving when mixed with soil or chemically stabilizer. Thus, this study evaluates on field, the mechanical behavior of mixtures of phosphogypsum, tropical soil of Aparecida de Goiania-GO and lime, when used in base layers of asphalt pavement. For that, laboratory tests were performed to characterize the mixtures to be used on field and was constructed an experimental pavement with mixtures of soil (80%) + phosphogypsum (20%), soil (80%) + phosphogypsum (11%) + lime (9%), soil (91%) + lime (9%) and gravel (100%). During the experimental pavement construction, field tests specifics of paving were conducted, to check its good execution and evaluate its initial performance. To better understand the behavior of the experimental pavement, a second step of field tests was conducted, six months after the release of traffic. From this study, was been observed that both in laboratory and field, the mixture soil (80%) + phosphogypsum (11%) + lime (9%) was that which presented the best mechanical performances and can thus replace the gravel for construction of low cost pavement. However, care should be adopted to control the expansion of this mixture.
