El objetivo principal de la investigación fue diseñar, construir e instrumentar un equipo pavimentos que determina las deformaciones flexibles bajo un sistema neumático que transfiere la carga a las probetas. El proceso de automatización consistió en realizar una interfaz de usuario en la cual se define variables como: la presión, humedad, temperatura y número de pasadas por minuto, después de esto se realiza la adquisición de datos por medio de un microcontrolador 18F4550 con transmisión USB. Durante el ensayo que dura aproximadamente 2 horas se realiza el control de temperatura por medio de cuatro termocuplas tipo J que están ubicadas en la cámara de la máquina, adicionalmente se realiza un control de velocidad por medio de un variador y por último el control de presión a los actuadores neumáticos. Este tipo de controladores son PID discretos implementados en el microcontrolador y el variador respectivamente.
Como logro obtenido se desarrolló una máquina con capacidad de evaluar el comportamiento del pavimento bajo condiciones como: límites de temperatura por medio de resistencias y de termocuplas, rango de cargas admisibles, este sistema se desarrolló de tal manera que el usuario final indicará únicamente las condiciones iniciales y la prueba se desarrolla de manera autónoma. Finalmente se construyó una máquina versátil para la ejecución de ensayos en pavimentos que representen la deformación bajo las condiciones reales de carga, temperatura, radicación UV y humedad, variables a las cuales esta sometida una estructura de pavimentoReferences
