The Brazil as a country road, which needs much its highways, however, currently the country uses for PAVEMENT scaling of a method developed in 1966 and updated in 1981 by Murilo Souza Engineer extinct DEER. The method that your main idea it is sizing foundation which is in the CBR, based on the empirical method. This way , along the growing fleet of the country and the emergence of some works of mechanistic-empirical nature, this work aims to make the analysis of a pavement through DNIT method and software use SisPavBR developed by Felipe Franco in their studies that began in 2007 in his thesis, making the adjustment and calibration of some performance prediction models .Similarly, We also did the use the AASHTOWare Pavement software developed by AASHTO as well as determining the thickness of the coating layer required to meet the demands imposed on the floor by means of mechanistic and empirical methods. For this, was then done using vehicle counting performed to BR116, however, they were necessary to create traffic volume of tracks (N) due DNIT method does not consider the arrangement of axes that SisPavBR and AASHTO are in their reviews .It was also conducted a survey of the executive cost km deck sized for each method, and statistical analysis was performed by AASHTO with variations in thickness of the coating base, subbase, base resilience modules, sub-base, subgrade and the volume of traffic to determine which of these variables cause greater interference on performance criteria. Thus, it was found that the surface scaled by DNIT need a coating thickness of 12.5 cm, the need SisPavBR 19.5 cm and 40 cm AASHTO needed, as the cost of the pavement was more higher for the dimensioning and AASHTO DNIT and SisPavBR had closest costs. The life time of DNIT pavement scaling was well below expectations in both analyzes, arriving in a case last only two months. Statistical analysis determined five equations to determine the deterioration mechanisms with R² above 0.85; it was determined that the major variables that affect the performance of flexible pavements are traffic volume and thickness of the coating.
