Stone mastic asphalt(SMA), also called stone-matrix asphalt, was developed in Germany in the 1960s. It provides a deformation resistant, durable surfacing material, suitable for heavily trafficked roads. 3, record 1, English, - stone%20mastic%20asphalt

Let us consider... a relatively resistant bed... included within a more plastic mass... and in the act of bending... The pressure that is exerted upon the separation surface evidently being the same in the two media, and the differences of principal pressures being equal to the respective thresholds, since there is deformation, the pressure that is exerted upon an element of surface normal to the limit is much less on the side where there is elongation(the extrados) in the resistant medium than in the plastic mass, and it may even be replaced by a tension which may be expressed by cracks. 1, record 3, English, - extrados

The fundamental work equation expresses that the effective work(that of the pressures exerted within the limits of the volume we are considering) is equal to the sum of the resistant work of deformation(including the work of friction of faults) and of the work of gravity, taken as positive or negative. 1, record 4, English, - effective%20work

L'équation fondamentale exprime que le travail moteur, celui des pressions qui s'exercent aux limites du volume que nous considérons, est égal à la somme du travail résistant de déformation (y compris le travail de frottement de failles), et du travail de la pesanteur, pris avec son signe. 1, record 4, French, - travail%20moteur

The pressure that is exerted upon the separation surface evidently being the same in the two media, and the differences of principal pressures being equal to the respective thresholds, since there is deformation, the pressure that is exerted upon an element of surface normal to the limit is much less on the side where there is elongation(the extrados) in the resistant medium than in the plastic mass, and it may even be replaced by a tension which may be expressed by cracks. Inversely, on the compressed side(the intrados), the pressure within the resistant rock is greater than in the plastic rock. It may produce secondary folds if the stratification is sufficiently marked. 1, record 5, English, - intrados

Inversement, du côté comprimé (intrados), la pression dans la roche résistante est plus forte que dans la roche plastique. Elle peut donner lieu à des plissotements secondaires, si la stratification est un tant soit peu marquée. 3, record 5, French, - intrados
