English

Subject field(s)
  • Roads
  • Road Maintenance
CONT

Debonding between layers that are initially stuck together is an important potential distress mode in multilayered structures. The risk may be the bond between the support and the long-life pavement surface layers... or between the binder course and the wearing course in the case of a two-layer composite surface course. The main cause of debonding is traffic, which can induce debonding... Variations of temperature with depth and time and intrusion of water(or water condensation) between layers can exacerbate the mechanism.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Voies de circulation
  • Entretien des routes
CONT

Le décollement entre les couches qui adhèrent initialement les unes aux autres est un mode de dégradation éventuel important dans les structures multicouches. Le risque peut se situer entre le support et la couche de surface des chaussées à longue durée de vie [...] ou entre la couche de liaison et la couche de roulement dans le cas d'une surface composite à deux couches. La cause principale est la circulation, qui peut induire un décollement [...] Des variations de température en profondeur et dans le temps, ainsi que la pénétration d'eau (ou la condensation d'eau) entre les couches, peuvent aggraver le mécanisme.

Record 2 2003-10-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorology
  • Soil Science
DEF

The cumulative number of degree-days below 0°C for the surface temperature(of the ground, pavement, etc.) during a given time period.

CONT

The freezing index is used as a measure of the combined duration and magnitude of below freezing temperatures occurring during any given freezing season. The index determined for air temperatures at 4.5 feet above the ground is commonly designated as the air freezing index, while that determined for temperatures immediately below a surface is known as the surface freezing-index.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Météorologie
  • Science du sol
CONT

On désigne communément l'indice déterminé pour les températures de l'air à 137,3 cm (4,5 pi) au-dessus du sol par l'expression indice de gel en atmosphère, tandis que celle qui est déterminée pour les températures prises juste au-dessous de la surface est appelée indice de gel à la surface.

Record 3 2000-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Road Construction
  • Placement of Concrete
CONT

Transverse joints, such as expansion and contraction joints to prevent cracking of the pavement when the temperature changes, may also be included.

CONT

[Continuously reinforced concrete] pavement is built without transverse joints and contains relatively heavy, continuous steel reinforcement in the longitudinal direction.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Construction des voies de circulation
  • Mise en place du béton
CONT

Les dalles sont limitées en plan par des joints, soit parallèles à l'axe de la chaussée, ou joints longitudinaux, soit perpendiculaires à cet axe, ou joints transversaux.

CONT

Les joints transversaux d'arrêt de chantier sont souvent des points douteux du profil en long.

OBS

[Les joints transversaux] comprennent : les joints de retrait, ou joints de retrait-flexion [...], les joints de dilatation [...], les joints de construction [...].

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Construcción de carreteras
  • Aplicación del hormigón

Record 4 1987-05-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Binders and Mastics (Constr.)
CONT

The slurry seal is not applied if either the pavement or the air temperature is 13 °C or below or when rain is imminent. Slurry placed at lower temperatures usually will not cure properly due to poor dehydration and poor asphalt coalescence.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Liants et mastics (Construction)
CONT

Le coulis étanche ne peut être appliqué si la température de la chaussée ou de l'air est inférieure à 13 °C ou s'il menace de pleuvoir. Si le coulis est appliqué à une température trop basse, le durcissement se fera dans de mauvaises conditions en raison de la lenteur de l'évaporation et d'une mauvaise coalescence de l'asphalte.
