The Algeria North-South Expressway from Chiffa to Berrouaghia is located in Blida province and Medea province in northern Algeria, with the route along the Chiffa river valley, through the national park in Algeria, large tracts of vineyards and other agricultural land in Medea privince, and bypassing the Berrouaghia residential areas. It is very strict with the environment protection. The project adopts EPC mode for construction, and establishes a complete set of green construction technology for expressway in green design concept, green environmental protection material and green construction technology innovation, by taking full advantage of the integration of design, construction and procurement.
This paper presents the cause analysis, treatment plans and treatment results of a settlement deformation accident at tunnel portal area of left line T1 tunnel in Algeria North-South Expressway. The engineering practice demonstrated the feasibility, timeliness, and safety of the treatment plans. The successful handling of the accident provided an important reference for the formulation of the settlement deformation treatment plans in the tunnel portal areas.
The Algeria North-South Expressway from Chiffa to Berrouaghia is located in Blida province and Médéa province in northern Algeria. It is the starting section of Algeria North-South Expressway in the Algeria national arterial highway networks composed of two latitudinal and one longitudinal highway. As an important part of the main highway skeleton in Algeria, the expressway from Chiffa to Berrouaghia is responsible for the main function of traffic conversion between plateau and coastal areas in the country. The project is mostly located in ridges and mountains with large terrain undulating, so the slopes of highway of partial sections are very steep. There are many similarities and differences between Chinese and Algerian highway design specifications or engineering practices in treating steep embankment problems. This paper introduced the main similarities and differences in treating steep embankment problems in China and Algeria, and emphatically introduced the techniques of slide-resistant shovel for treatment of steep slope embankment in Algeria North-South Expressway project. Definition of Steep Embankments There are technical specifications about steep embankments in Specifications for Design of Highway Subgrades (JTG D30-2015) in China. When the slope rate of ground exceeds 1:5 (11.3°),
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
