Estudo de alongamento da Avenida Brasília

Abstract

In Brazil, we are full of problems related to floods and inundations, referring to environmental causes or on the hands of human beings. However, the solutions to this problem require a preliminary study, revealing quick and low-budget solutions. Based on this, it was proposed to the students of the Civil Engineering course of the Soils and Topography module of the Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos to investigate a flood that occurs on Avenida Brasília, in the city of São João da Boa Vista, near the Big Bom supermarket. . In this situation, the students placed the knowledge acquired in the classroom in the suggested location and raised possible solutions to solve the problem. Through the presented problem, we understand that it would be necessary to carry out some research and experiments, from the extraction of soil samples to the buildings contained in the place. As a result, we achieved results that were fundamental for the development of our project. The main solution for the flooding was the Water Squares (Flooding Squares) which aims to design a place that acts as a water reservoir that will help the drainage during the rains and the rest of the time it works as squares for leisure for residents and tourists. The idea is to concentrate the water in the lower layers of the plaza and then drain it below the ground or direct it to a larger river.
