Abstract: This article introduces the types and scope of slope protection works commonly used in China's highways. Data shows that 1/3 of the damage to highways caused by natural disasters is caused by slope instability. This article, through case studies, illustrates the great significance to improving the road disaster resilience and recovery, by correct choose of protection works type, improving [...]

During the execution works of the A3 motorway: TUNIS - MEJEZ EL BAB, it was discovered underground cavities linked to gypsum dissolution phenomenon. the site presents a sensitive area, an important tectonic movement and a heavy rain. The real and major risk is related to cavities under the highway platform and the progressive behavior of gypsum dissolution. The treatment of these cavities was by filling [...]

IP0222 - Adaptation of a shoreline and motorway protection breakwater in Valencia (Spain) (.pdf - 1.3MB)

This paper tries to explain the adaptation of an existing breakwater designed for the protection of the shoreline and the adjacent motorway V-21, in the surroundings of the city of Valencia, in Spain. The affected stretch of the road and the breakwater are located in the Mediterranean coast, in an area where the motorway V-21 lays parallel and extremely near to the coastline, in a suburban stretch [...]

IP0223 - ACONDICIONAMIENTO DEL CAUCE E INFRAESTRUCTURA DE LA CARRETERA EN EL CRUCE DE LA N-232 SOBRE EL BARRANCO DE MOLINÁS EN XERT (ESPAÑA) (.pdf - 2.0MB)

This paper tries to explain the adaptation of an existing crossing over a ravine in the Mediterranean area of Spain. Existing infrastructure comprises road N 232 (two lanes, one each traffic direction) including a former bridge from around 1940 (only for local transit) and a new one from 2002 (main long distance transit). Water only flows after certain rain episodes, but commonly is a dry course. [...]

This communication presents the case study of the Tashkent - Osh corridor in its transit through the Kamchik pass in eastern Uzbekistan, a mountain highway that has been part, for centuries, of the so-called Route of the Silk. This transport infrastructure is of strategic importance both locally, since it is the only road that connects the Fergana valley with the rest of the Uzbek national territory, [...]

IP0274 - Gestión de los riesgos de las rocas de la RN1 en la Isla de la Reunión: desde la gestión de la circulación y las obras de protección hasta un nuevo trazado (.pdf - 8KB)

RN1 on Reunion Island is a strategic road infrastructure linking the port to the departmental headquarters; over 12 km long it is dominated by a cliff almost 200 m high. Supporting a traffic of 60,000 vehicles / day, it is also subject to significant daily traffic jams on arrival at St Denis, which lead to long wait times under the cliff. Securing this route is a major concern for its successive managers. [...]
