embankment Explanation: construction des remblais contigus d'ouvrages d'art et aux murs de soutènement. ... avant le remblai courant, la partie du «remblai (bloc technique)» n'ayant pas d'influence ...... remblais et des couches de forme d'infrastructures routières. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 heure (2018-10-03 13:39:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.exca.eu/project/motorway-catania-siracusa/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 heure (2018-10-03 13:42:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The three parts of the road are: foundation, embankment and pavement according to one of the links. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 heures (2018-10-03 15:39:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Je ne saurais vous dire pour 'dos de socle'.

Il présente la structure du corps de chaussée. Chaque profils en travers type est décomposé en deux demi profils l’un donne les dispositions adoptées dans les zones en remblais et l’autre dans les zones en déblais. Le corps de chaussée est généralement constitué de trois couches fondamentales : • la couche de roulement (CR) qui supporte le trafic • la couche de base (CB) qui est l'intermédiaire entre la couche de fondation et la couche de roulement elle reçoit les charges transmises par la couche de roulement et les dispersent dans la couche de fondation. • la couche de fondation (CF) qui elle repose sur l'assise ou l'arase de terrassement Détermination de la structure de chaussée Elle se fait grâce au catalogue du LBTP et qui retient comme élément de choix : • la région R de construction de la route • le trafic T • le type de sol S Ref. https://www.ingenieurs.com/documents/memoire/rapport-de-proj...

| Reference: also called remblai contigu or remblai technique Reference information: Les remblais contigus, appelés aussi remblais techniques ou blocs techniques, sont une partie intégrante des ouvrages. Ils contribuent à la stabilité de l'ouvrage et assurent la transition entre les structures rigides, souvent en béton, et le déblai ou le remblai courant. so it appears to be a translational area between the "hard" bridge and the normal base course layers of the roadway - but unfortunately I can't immediately see an English translation HTH http://dtrf.setra.fr/pdf/pj/Dtrf/0006/Dtrf-0006406/DT6406.pd... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2018-10-08 09:49:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A fellow translator has kindly passed on the notes below: "Bloc technique" refers not to roads as such but to the material placed behind a retaining wall, in this case a bridge abutment I suspect. Other questions from the same Asker (écaille, amorce) suggest it is a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall/abutment. From my notes: Bloc technique Engineered fill - the fill placed immediately behind a retaining wall, that must satisfy certain requirements in terms of angle of friction, compaction, etc., as opposed to the fill further away which need not meet any particular requirements. Engineered fill - Soils used as fill, such as retaining wall backfill, foundation support, dams, slopes, etc. that are to be placed in accordance to engineered specifications (particular soil grain-size, plasticity, moisture, compaction, angularity, etc.) The soils within (i.e. structural fill) and behind (i.e. retained fill) a reinforced soil wall have a large influence on the design of the structure... Investigations must therefore be conducted to locate and test locally available materials which may be used for structural fill and backfill with the selected system... In traditional modular facing reinforced soil systems, because of the nature of the reinforcement (with low interface friction coefficient and small area of contact with the fill), the material used as engineered fill must have dilatant behavior under shear when compacted or/and good grain interlocking in the reinforcement patterns. These requirements exclude materials other than granular cohesionless soil with well graded particle size and high internal friction angle. |
