Resumo
Brazil has a road network close to 1, 118, 520 miles which only 90, 724.4 miles are paved. In addition, every year the roads are exposed not only to an increasing amount of traffic but also to its loads/cargo. This research was accomplished with the support of Mackenzie Research Fund (Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa). The purpose of this study was to develop a new technology to improve construction and whitewashing of Brazilian highways and consequently increase its durability with the use of steel mesh by analyzing its effectiveness based on the best international practices, observing its efficiency in laboratory and on an experimental section. The highway SP354 is located in São Paulo, Brazil. © 2014 Taylor & Francis Group.
