Geotechnical characterization of a low volume traffic road
| Summary: | This paper aims to study an unpaved low volume traffic road (LRV) in the Montesinho Natural Park, Portugal. Because it is a road that gives access to two dams that supply the localities of the region of Bragança, Portugal, in a nature reserve, it should be ensured the valorization of this natural park and also the safety and comfort of those who use it. The proper conservation of this road requires that its structural condition is periodically evaluated, involving a predominantly geotechnical characterization because it is unpaved. In order to evaluate whether structural tests are practical for the management and conservation models of unpaved roads are developed. |
