Abstract
The A49 motorway runs along the Isere river near Teche, between Grenoble and Valence, in France, and a large retaining wall was needed there. This structure is an anchored wall, and its design was made with the help of pressuremeter measurements. The pressuremeter tests were carried out with a lantern probe, which was pushed into the soil by dynamic driving. A new pressuremeter theory was used to determine the internal angle of friction of the gravels. The results allowed the best adjustment of the wall to the geotechnical environment. The A49 motorway has been used since 1991 without trouble.
期刊介绍:
The objectives of the Association shall be the promotion of co-operation among geotechnical societies in SE Asia; and the assistance to member societies who have limited number of members. Now there is only one combined web titled: AGSSEA-SEAGS. SEAGS & AGSSEA encourage the submission of scholarly and practice-oriented articles to its journal. The journal is published quarterly. Both sponsors of the journal, the Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society and the Association of Geotechnical Societies in Southeast Asia, promote the ideals and goals of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechhnical Engineering in fostering communications, developing insights and enabling the advancement of the geotechnical engineering discipline.
