Résumé / Abstract
European countries contain a large amount of surface transport infrastructure, which sometimes appears inappropriate to meet societal demands. Road-built techniques have developed slowly, due to a limited number of significant technical breakthroughts, poor coordination among stakeholders and a focus directed primarly on resolving current problems. The purpose of NR2C project is to create a global vision for the road of the future. Based on a large survey among road stakeholders, this project is aimed at selecting sage, environment-friendly and subtle concepts in order to strike a compromise between reduced global construction/maintenance costs, safety and environnemental criteria. The objective of WP 3 : "Innovations in civil engineering structures" is to contribute to this long-term vision of the road by provinding a state of the art both today's and tommorow's innovations in the field of civil engineering structures and developing specific innovations that concern highly-durable and maintenance free structures., RAPPORT DE CONTRAT
