THE PARIS-METZ AND ST AVOLD-STRASBOURG MOTORWAYS. PRELIMINARY GEOLOGICAL STUDY /IN FRENCH/

THE AIM OF THE GEOLOGICAL STUDY DESCRIBED IS TO SUPPLY NECESSARY DATA FOR THE SELECTION OF THE ALIGNMENT AND THE EVALUATION OF POSSIBLE DIFFICULTIES BY ANALYZING THE GEOTECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS (SLOPE STABILITY, APTITUDE OF TERRAIN TO SUPPORT EMBANKMENTS). THE STUDY COMPRISES THE PLOTTING OF A GEOLOGICAL MAP AND INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE TERRAIN A FEW KILOMETERS ON EACH SIDE OF THE ALIGNMENT, INCLUDING COURSE OF OUTCROP. THE TERRAIN THROUGH WHICH THE TWO MOTORWAYS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED CAN BE DIVIDED INTO SEVEN GEOLOGICAL ZONES. /TRRL/
