Abstract

This paper presents a study of a number of unusual abutment movements that have occurred at seven underpass structures on the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway between Cornwall and the Quebec border. The locations of these structures are shown in Figure 1. The movements were of such magnitude at three of the structures that extensive repair work has been necessary.An explanation for these unusual abutment movements is presented. Remedial measures are suggested and measures are outlined to avoid the occurrence of such movements in areas where comparable subsoil and loading conditions would prevail., Cet article présente l'étude d'un nombre des mouvements peu communs des culées construits sur pieux résistants à la point des sept ouvrages sur l'autoroute Macdonald-Cartier entre la ville de Cornwall et la frontière de la Province de Québec. A trois de ces ouvrage les mouvements étaient de telle magnitude que des réparations extensives étaient necessaires.Une explication de ces mouvements extraordinaires est presentée. Des mesures correctives sont suggerées. Aussi presentées sont des mesures pour éviter l'occurrence des telles mouvements dans les régions où les conditions de chargement et sous-sols seraient comparables.
