Abstract

This study is part of optimizing quality and cost of the design of a pavement structure in Lateritic Natural Grave (LNG). It focuses on the problem of taking into account the influence of Poisson's ratio assigned to the material constitution of a roadway, especially for rational methods of design, in the elastic range. In order to initiate the development of a local standard for this parameter, we carry out an experimental characterization of Poisson's ratio of LNG from the unconfined compression test on the materials used in the construction project of a 7km stretch of road Bafoussam in Cameroon. Depending on the extreme values (0.25 and 0.50) can take Poisson's ratio for different materials, we notice a change in thickness of the layer of pavement that LNG is about 3cm. Knowing the value of Poisson's ratio of the LNG will prevent a bad design can be an oversized (to earnings) or a undersizing (very rapid onset of degradation). In the case of our project, this is an under-sizing of 7cm of foundation’s layer.
