Resumen
The pavement is a flexible structure that improves the appearance and comfort of the roads where it is applied. Its construction process is based on a mixture of stone materials and petroleum-derived asphalt cement. The implementation of the pavement brings with it an immediate improvement in any place where it is applied, since in addition to providing tranquility and security to users, it values and gives society the possibility of mobilizing in an optimal way. The asphalt cement is a derivative of petroleum necessary for the elaboration of the pavement; With the aim of contributing to the conservation of the environment, it is intended to reuse used cooking oils (ACU) as a substitute product for asphalt. This work raises the life cycle, the technical, economic and environmental evaluation of the construction process of a cycle-route where in one case the traditional asphalt mixture is used and another where a percentage of the binder is replaced by ACU. Within the economic and environmental analyzes carried out, comparing an amount of 951 gallons of ACU per asphalt mix, the profit percentage would reach 10% for a single truck with asphalt mix. In the environmental part, the evaluation showed a low impact project (Type III). In this preliminary study, the results are encouraging, which could give rise to alternatives for improving roads at lower cost and helping to conserve the environment. Initially it would be applied in cycle routes and after guaranteeing compliance with the INVIAS standard used in our country, it would be applied on any road that is being paved.
