[...] l'expression Travaux publics comporte une certaine ambiguïté selon que l'accent est mis sur l'un ou l'autre des termes qui la composent, le premier évoquant la notion d'ouvrages de Génie civil [...], l'autre suggérant l'idée de travaux exécutés pour le compte de la puissance publique [...] En réalité, c'est la vocation d'industrie créatrice d'ouvrages de Génie civil qui caractérise le mieux de nos jours cette branche d'activités. 4, record 1, French, - entreprise%20de%20travaux%20publics

Cette conception très élargie de l'industrie des T.P. n'est pas admise par tous. Les juristes continuent à lier la notion de Travaux publics à la nature des contrats; ils distinguent les marchés publics de travaux et les marchés privés, cette classification étant exclusive quelle que soit la nature des travaux ou des prestations. 2, record 2, French, - entreprise%20de%20travaux%20publics
