Abstract
Walkways are scaffolding erected to cross natural or artificial barriers and take care of the passenger's own safety. There are walkways over rivers, lakes, roads, railroads, valleys and also as connections between buildings, which aim at the physical distance between pedestrian flow and disorders that individuals are not able to cope with, such as water currents, the height of buildings and vehicles at high speed. The theme "Design of Reinforced Catwalk" aims to demonstrate how the design of a reinforced concrete walkway, showing the possible pathologies that may occur in these structures. The article followed the precepts of exploratory study, through bibliographic research, was developed from material already prepared, consisting of scientific articles. It has been found that it is important to consider the permanent load of the element. In the case of walkways, the load must be established in addition to its own weight, by variables that are part of the physical framework itself, other fixed overloads, such as: concrete slab, steel structures, paving, railing, signs, among others. . As for pathologies, it was concluded that the best option to prevent pathological conditions is prevention. Prevention is generated not only by a project or execution within the quality parameters, but mainly by a structural maintenance program. These programs play an important role in any structure, facilitating the verification of structural deterioration states and favoring the reduction of treatment costs. These procedures will certainly prevent the formation of marked and widespread pathologies.

Summary
A walkway can significantly decrease the number of runover accidents in a given neighboring area. When the basic design is elaborated, it is important to analyze the structural systems of preambular research so that the design of the work is exquisitely combined with the site and various surrounding buildings, where appropriate. For this phase, it serves as a database a planialtimetric survey, surveys, geometric design of the crossing, number of passers-by at peak time etc. A good research or case study is important for walkway design, a strategically appropriate deployment site, top quality materials for both architectural design optimization and optimum structural design that allows for simplified maintenance [1]. The theme has the main objective of demonstrating how the design of a reinforced concrete walkway is presented, presenting the possible pathologies that may occur in these structures
