The impact of soil properties on the structural integrity of high-fill reinforced concrete culverts

Liang Sun

Reinforced concrete (RC) culverts under high fill have been widely used in the construction of expressways and railways. Based on the results of a field survey, various types of structural damage to RC culverts occur during construction and service periods ...

Road runoff over the shoulder diffuse infiltration : real-scale experimentation and optimization

Pascal Piguet

A new concept of road runoff management, based on diffuse infiltration over the shoulder, was tested in a real-scale experimentation site located near Grandson, Switzerland. This new concept consists in diffusely infiltrating the road runoff in the infiltr ...

New Method for Pavement Rutting Prediction

André-Gilles Dumont, Mehdi Ould Henia

In recent years, pavement rutting rate has increased significantly due to constant traffic intensity increment. These solicitations affect the bituminous layers that can quickly attain their permanent deformation limit resistance. This phenomenon can lead ...

Predictive method for evaluation of pavement rutting

André-Gilles Dumont, Mehdi Ould Henia

Pavement rutting not only decreases the road service life but also creates a danger for the security of road users. In recent years, pavement rutting rate has increased significantly due to constant traffic intensity increment. It is well known that the in ...

Comportement mécanique des milieux granulaires sous sollicitations cycliques : application aux fondations de chaussées

Frédéric Mayoraz

The following work deals with the characterisation of the behaviour of road bases granular material, made of tunnel excavation material and loaded by passing vehicle axles. This granular media, don't correspond generally to the standards demanded for the c ...
