2A - Materials The optimal utilisation of materials, locally available on the site, of a road project is today a priority, both from an economic objective and an environmental objective contributing to sustainable development. Consequently, the identification and knowledge of the resources that materials constitute, are fundamental and require in-depth and high-performance studies. The materials used in the construction of earth-structures of a road infrastructure come from various sources. We mainly distinguish: natural materials, soils or rocks, available locally on the road project site: cuttings or borrowings; or where applicable, when necessary, borrow pits or quarries (materials most often transformed by mechanical processing operations: screening, crushing, ...). marginal natural materials, when a methodology for using these materials may be appropriate for optimal use. possibly, alternative materials when available close to the project: industrial by-products, non-hazardous waste, etc… the use of which may be of significant environmental interest. The different types of materials that constitute resources for an economic infrastructure project are presented in 3 booklets that can be downloaded from this page: 2A.I Natural materials soils and rocks, 2A.II Case of marginal materials, 2A.III Alternative materials.
