Ci-dessous un résumé de la présentation
Renforcer la résilience et la durabilité des infrastructures routières est devenu de plus en plus important, car les routes sont confrontées à des demandes de trafic croissantes et à des stress climatiques accentués, notamment les inondations, l’élévation du niveau de la mer et les températures extrêmes. Les géosynthétiques offrent des solutions efficaces pour relever ces défis en améliorant les performances structurelles tout en soutenant des pratiques de construction durables.

Cette présentation explore les rôles interconnectés de la résilience et de la durabilité dans les réseaux routiers et met en lumière les avancées récentes dans les applications des géosynthétiques. Parmi les exemples, on retrouve les géogrilles pour améliorer la réponse aux charges et réduire les déformations permanentes, les géocellules combinées à des granulats recyclés pour une construction durable des couches de base, ainsi que les géotextiles drainants pour atténuer les dommages liés à l’humidité.

Ensemble, ces technologies démontrent les avantages des géosynthétiques pour créer des réseaux routiers plus durables, adaptables et respectueux de l’environnement.
