ESTUDOS DOS ALAGAMENTOS NA AV. PLÍNIO SALGADO, NO MUNICÍPIO DE VARGINHA

Abstract

The present work addresses the problems caused during the rainy season by the drainage system delimited by Av. Plínio Salgado and its surroundings. Problems causing flooding are exposed, where microdrainage elements such as wolf mouths and galleries are analyzed. Through field visits fifty streets and two hundred and fifty-four wolf mouths were measured with the help of a measuring tape. After these measurements were made, the rational method was compared with the design capability, with the results telling whether or not the wolf's mouth supports that flow. And of the fifty streets, five streets presented problems, resulting in water flowing down to Av. Plínio Salgado. Then new configurations are presented for the wolf mouths of these five streets, thus preventing this water from flooding the Av. Plínio Salgado. Also shown are the calculations of the gallery of Av. Plínio Salgado. The results show that the existing microdrainage structure does not support the demand in the rainy season, but shows how the presented solution alternatives can be effective against the existing problems.
