Quelles sont les principales causes de

dommages routiers ?
11 février 2021

Le goudron et l'asphalte sont généralement des revêtements

routiers durables, et certaines de nos routes les plus anciennes
reposent sur des fondations vieilles de plus de dix ans.

Malgré cela, l'asphalte ne dure pas éternellement, et comme ce sont

d'immenses surfaces constamment exposées aux éléments, les
dommages aux routes sont inévitables, comme en témoignent les
nids-de-poule, les fissures d'alligator et les surfaces inégales que
l'on voit sur de nombreuses routes principales.

Les surfaces d'asphalte sont généralement robustes et la plupart

des dommages que vous voyez sont souvent le résultat cumulatif
d'un éventail de causes. Si une route est tellement endommagée
qu'il est dangereux de la parcourir, il faut contacter les entreprises

Here are some of the main reasons a road may become seriously
damaged in the first place.

Heavy Traffic
Roads are intended to make driving easier. However heavier
vehicles can also put a lot of pressure on the surface itself. This
consistent stress can cause weaknesses to emerge in the road
surface, which as a result causes cracking.

This puts the cracked surface at risk of breaking off entirely and
forming a pothole.

Water
Water is one of the biggest causes of damage for road surfaces and
is the reason why tarmac seals and pavement preservation is
needed to avoid significant damage to the road surface.

If the surface is cracked, which can happen over time or as the

result of particularly heavy pressures on the road, water seeps in
and weakens the base course layer, which causes depressions.

What is often an issue is that if that base layer is damaged, the road
will continually have problems with traffic load and be more
vulnerable to cracks and potholes until the road is completely
repaved.

Sunlight
Asphalt as a surface consists of a binder which sticks the rock,
aggregate and sand that makes up the surface together. Over a long
time, ultraviolet rays can dissolve this binder, causing the road to
more closely resemble a loose arrangement of gravel than a road.

Oxidation
Have you ever wondered why road surfaces are black when they are
new and gradually become a lighter grey as they age? The reason
for this is exposure to oxygen, which gradually breaks down the
asphalt layer and causes the surface to be less flexible.

Eventually, the tarmac layer is closer to concrete than its original

state and is more susceptible to being cracked under heavy loads.

Leaking Oil
Parked cars can sometimes leak oil, which in small amounts and
cleaned quickly is not always an issue, but the longer it sits on the
asphalt the more it will seep in and ruin the top layers, as well as
being exceptionally difficult to repair or remove.

The Earth Itself

Despite how it may feel, the earth is consistently moving on tectonic
plates (https://translate.google.com/website?
sl=auto&tl=fr&hl=fr&u=https://www.nationalgeographic.org/maps/earths-
tectonic-plates/), and this, along with earthquakes and other natural
phenomena, can cause the surface under a road to shift and settle
over time, which in itself can cause cracks, sinkholes and other
major damage.
