Contribution of the fiber reinforcement on the fatigue behavior of two cement-modified soils
Deliverable 2.1 'State-of-the-art research and practices in construction methods across the four transport modes' (Colla...
The FOX project aims to practically implement the aspects of this step relevant to the construction, maintenance, inspection and recycle & reuse activities of the transport network. The general objective of the FOX project is to identify the potential and develop the functionality of all transport modes (road, air, Rail and water) in order to form ...
Durability of gfrp reinforcing bars and their bond in concrete

Mechanical fatigue behavior in treated/stabilized soils subjected to a uniaxial flexural test
The use of in situ fine-grained soils treated with lime and/or hydraulic binders as subgrade in common civil engineering infrastructures is a sustainable upgrading process for natural materials with low mechanical performances. In the case of land transport projects, the lack of knowledge on mechanical fatigue behavior in these materials leads eith...
Model of high-speed train energy consumption
In the hardening energy context, the transport sector which constitutes a large worldwide energy demand has to be improving for decrease energy demand and global warming impacts. In a controversial situation where subsists an increasing demand for long-distance and high-speed travels, high-speed trains offer many advantages, as consuming significant...
Eco-design for infrastructures in all transport modes
During last decades, a lot of research has been aimed at mechanical characteristics improvements of materials and roads pavements, taking into account traffic requirements and service time for the initial construction. Besides, environmental impacts linked to roads are still seen today throughout regulation and focused on the use phase. Regulation ...
Ergonomie de la conduite automobile. In: Ergonomie, Travail, Conception, Santé
La conduite automobile est un domaine de recherche où l’activité en ergonomie a été intense et riche au cours de ces 50 dernières années. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif de ce texte n’est pas, bien entendu, d’effectuer une revue exhaustive de ces recherches, mais plutôt d’apporter au lecteur des éléments resitués dans le temps permettant d’esquisser q...
Impacts from truck traffic on road infrastructure
Infrastructure de transport et développement économique : quelles dynamiques d’appropriation par les acteurs productifs ...
L’article propose une piste pour renouveler l’analyse du lien entre infrastructures de transport et développement économique. Elle montre la diversité de sensibilité des firmes aux infrastructures, en fonction des modalités de coordination à l’oeuvre au sein des systèmes productifs dans lesquels elles s’insèrent. Notre recherche vise à montrer en e...
Mechanical analysis of a mixed mode debonding test for composite pavements
In order to investigate interlayer debonding near skrinkage cracks or joints of ‘‘composite’’ pavements, a four-point bending test on bi-layer structures is performed. Before mixed mode failure, the quasianalytical calculations obtained by a specific elastic model match experimental results under static and controlled displacement conditions. Both ...
