Abstract

The main objective of this research was to evaluate the social impact generated by failures in roller-compacted concrete pavements on urban roads located on collapsible soils in Huancayo. To this end, sections with visible pavement damage were selected to understand the perceptions of users who regularly travel on these roads. The methodology applied was a descriptive and correlational study. The population consisted of residents who regularly use these roads, and a stratified probability sampling based on vehicular and pedestrian volume was applied. Thus, the sample consisted of 250 people, distributed proportionally according to the traffic intensity on each section. The analysis included descriptive statistics to characterize the sample and the relevant variables, and bivariate correlations were performed using Spearman's Rho. In addition, a structural equation model, developed in SmartPLS, was used to represent the relationships between variables. The results showed that failures in roller-compacted concrete pavements on collapsible soils have a significant social impact on residents traveling on the studied routes in Huancayo, highlighting the importance of considering these effects in urban planning and maintenance.
