Mapeamento e análise das pontes do Estado do Ceará

Abstract

Monitoring existing bridges in a state is an important factor to enable the necessary maintenance and renovations to be carried out in their structures, and is therefore a fundamental measure to guarantee an adequate infrastructure for the population. It happens that there is a difficulty in finding information about the existing bridges in the State of Ceará, mainly, with regard to technical data of the state bridges. In view of this, the present work sought to collect the necessary material to map the Federal and State bridges of the aforementioned State. For this, it was necessary to verify how the monitoring of the situation of the bridges occurs, analyzing how a geoprocessing software, QGIS software, examining the collected data, extracting the pertinent information and verifying in a clearer and more objective way to expose such data. In view of the results obtained, maps were combined to facilitate the visualization of federal and state bridges in the state of Ceará. Thus, it was possible to identify these bridges, establishing the locations, construction dates and location in reference to the environmental aggressiveness of each region in which they are located. In addition, in said mapping, zones of environmental aggressiveness were considered, based on studies on the behavior of various materials exposed to the environment in control stations, which confirm that the coastal strip of the State of Ceará, has a highly aggressive atmosphere. Finally, it was decided to provide an interactive map, available on a website, in order to prove a better experience in data visualization, with links that make available the maps resulting from this work and with all the material that was used to build them. . As a result, the work made the research and study about bridges in the State of Ceará easy and intuitive.
