[...] fossés placés en haut des talus de remblais ou de déblais, afin d'éviter leur ravinement par les eaux de ruissellement de la chaussée ou des terrains voisins. 2, record 2, French, - foss%C3%A9%20de%20cr%C3%AAte
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Si la route est en déblai, il y a obligation de prévoir un fossé; il peut être indiqué dans ce dernier cas de prévoir un fossé de crête qui empêchera les eaux de ruisseler sur le talus et d'en raviner la surface; les eaux du fossé de crête seront conduites au fossé ordinaire de la route par des descentes maçonnées, de telle sorte que des infiltrations ne puissent pas se produire dans la masse du talus de déblai, ce qui risquerait de le faire ébouler. 3, record 2, French, - foss%C3%A9%20de%20cr%C3%AAte
