04.05.2011 |
|
This report gives practical and conceptual recommendations for the application of UHPFRC for the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures. It is not intended as a prenormative document but rather as a practical tool to help engineers and owners be able to answer following questions:
- Are UHPFRC adapted for my case ?
- What can I expect from UHPFRC ?
- How do UHPFRC compare with other materials ?
- How to classify my structure in terms of degree of restraint ?
- Which level of UHP ...[more] |

Over a three-year period, the tyre/road noise and the pavement texture were periodically
measured on a series of 21 full-scale sites situated in urban areas with a speed limit
of 50 km/h. The study involved a wide range of noise-reducing asphalt mixtures,
including semi-dense macro rough asphalt AC MR and porous asphalt PA. It has been
shown that the acoustic performance decreases asymptotically as a function of traffic
volume. For PA the decrease can be delayed provided the pores do not be ...[more] |

The report will be especially dedicated to the exposition of the models of streets, avenues, boulevards and bus lanes that have been formalized during the research. Some of these models have been applied to the design of one of Wattrelos’ city entrances according to a design method that is synthetically described at the end of this report. The 4 main part of the report are:
-A- The street within the problematic of the modern city: develops some of the most difficult issues that street d ...[more] |

|
The Vehicle Infrastructure Interaction Simulation (VIIS) is a framework to accurately model the infrastructure vehicle interaction based on real road measurement data. Some of these parameters have an obvious impact on transport safety (e.g. skid resistance). However the combination with other parameters (curvature, cross-fall, evenness) may have a higher risk which is not as easy perceivable. VIIS – road transport safety may be used to analyse safety relevant infrastructure parameter comb ...[more] |

|
This paper assesses the threats and needs that multidimensional climate change imposes for public infrastructure, reviews the existing adaptive capacity that could be applied to respond to these threats and needs, and presents options for enhancing adaptive capacity through public sector investments in physical, planning, and human resources. The paper considers four types of infrastructure: transportation; energy generation and transmission; water, sewer, and
telecommunications; and coastal de ...[more] |
