Technical Reports Earthworks

This page lists technical reports of PIARC in the field of road earthworks. These publications are classified chronologically.

  • 2C - Earthworks Project

    The Booklet 2C, downloadable on this page, covers the earthworks studies and project. This Part of the Manual deals with the different phases of the earthworks project, from the design to the construction of earth-structures. We have chosen to refer to major linear, rail or road infrastructure projects, which require more complete and in-depth studies. Economic and environmental issues are the main guiding thread in this Booklet. Optimization of the earthworks project is carried out for [...]

  • Road Infrastructure And Transportation Security - A PIARC Technical Report

    The management of road assets is becoming increasingly important in the current global context. Design, construction and maintenance are being adapted to improve and guarantee the durability of structures. The resilience of infrastructure to climate change is being sought. The priority objective is to avoid disorders that could jeopardise the operation and safety of road infrastructure. Technical reports on this subject have already been published on the PIARC website, and a Road Management Manual [...]

  • Innovations and Techniques - Application to Earth Structures in the Future - A PIARC technical Report

    As we move further into the 21st century, it is becoming increasingly more clear that climate change is the biggest concern that we must face. The effects of climate change, specifically the increasing frequency and intensity of natural hazards, are wreaking havoc on infrastructure, including earth structures, around the globe. The need for more resilient earth structures requires firm and bold action by owners, managers, stakeholders and the whole scientific community. The purpose of this report [...]

  • Resilience of Earth Structures - Collection of Case Studies

    This case study compilation tries to give a deeper insight on the topic “Increasing Resilience of Earth Structures to Natural Hazards” assigned to WG1 of PIARC TC 4.3 as part of the 2020-2023 Work Programme. For the production of this report, relevant case studies related to resilience in earth structures have been requested from all the members of PIARC TC 4.3 and also from non-PIARC experts. The case studies that have been submitted give an idea of what the academic and technical community [...]

  • Techniques and Innovations in Earthworks - Collection of Case Studies

    This report presents the summary of thirty-six cases studies compiled by Working Group 2 of Technical Committee 4.3 under the theme “Techniques and Innovations in Earthworks“. This document will be further developed as part of the 2020-2023 Work Cycle and is expected to be accompanied by one additional document in publication, a full report. The information contained herein provides general insight, innovative techniques, and unique solutions to problems related to earthworks and earth structures [...]
