ABSTRACT: The rideability on segments of a road built in Delta, British Columbia, has been affected by ongoing differential settlement due to the presence of organic and soft soils in the subgrade. Based on a detailed assessment of survey monitoring data collected over a period of 5 years, it was concluded that the rate of settlement observed was larger than that required to meet the specified rideability conditions. A trial section along the affected area was selected to evaluate the performance of a remediation option based on the use of lightweight cellular concrete (LCC). After construction was completed and the road opened to traffic, survey monitoring was conducted on this segment of the road for about 6 months. The survey information has shown maximum ground displacements in the order of 3-4 mm, which are considered within the expected design values.
RÉSUMÉ: La maniabilité sur des segments d'une route construite dans Delta, en Colombie-Britannique, a été affectée par le tassement continu en raison de la présence de sols organiques et mous sur le sous-sol. Sur la base de l'étude des données de surveillance de l'enquête recueillies sur une période de 5 ans, il a été conclu que le taux de tassement observé était supérieur à celui requis pour répondre aux conditions de maniabilité requises. Une section d'essai le long de la zone touchée a été sélectionnée pour évaluer les performances d’une option corrective basée sur l'utilisation de béton cellulaire léger (LCC). Une fois la construction terminée et la route ouverte à la circulation, un suivi d'enquête a été effectué sur ce segment de la route pendant environ 6 mois. Les informations d'enquête ont montré des déplacements de sol maximum de l'ordre de 3-4 mm, qui sont considérés dans les valeurs de conception attendues.
