key figures
Contracting authorities often call for pavement structures that will withstand traffic without
damage for long periods of time. When traffic is heavy, this requirement is generally met by
providing thick structures with a variety of layers of well-defined types and characteristics.
The conventional rule that the lowest-quality materials should be placed in the lower levels
and the higher-performance materials at the surface is disproved by a new structure designed
and developed by Eurovia. It reflects better knowledge of pavement dynamics and the ongoing
effort to rationalize the use of available materials. These structures are thinner but ensure long
service life in pavements with heavy traffic.
Tricouche is the result of Eurovia studies that analysed the mechanics of pavement structures
with a view to using the highest-performance materials only in those areas of the structure
that are subjected to the highest loadings. The process replaces the usual upper base course /
lower base course tandem with a structure made up of two thin outside layers of high-
performance bituminous materials separated by a less expensive intermediate material with
lower performance.

savings ASSURed
At equal service life, a 200 mm thick (60 + 80 +
60 mm) Tricouche structure is equivalent to 250 mm
of high-modulus asphalt or 380 mm of Class 2 road
base asphalt. The materials balance (aggregate,
hydrocarbon products) obviously confirms the
advantages of the Tricouche solution.
Reducing thicknesses generates immediate savings
in projects using the process and contributes to
environmental protection, both directly by limiting
the aggregate needed and indirectly by reducing
the energy required to manufacture and lay these
materials.
The performance of Tricouche recommends it for the
construction of pavements subject to heavy traffic,
over substrates of low to medium bearing capacity and
for long service lives.
WHAT IT TAKES
for SUCCesS
The upper and lower layers of Tricouche consist of a
thin application of high-modulus asphalt or Renfovia.
This asphalt mix has excellent mechanical properties,
and in particular high stiffness modulus and high
elongation capacity under repeated loadings.
Formulated with 0/10 aggregate, it is laid in a single
thickness that is independent of the traffic and set
at the minimum technically feasible level of 60 to
70 mm.
The middle layer is often made up of Grave Mousse,
a material made by adding foamed hot bitumen to
unheated aggregate, typically of 0/14 grading. It is
applied in a thickness determined by a structural
pavement design, generally between 80 and
150 mm. A specific road base asphalt with low binder
content can also be used.
A surface course of very thin asphaltic overlay, for
example Microvia TM®
or Rugovia TM®
, lends the
pavement the desired surface characteristics. In
certain cases, the upper layer of Tricouche can be
made of high-modulus asphaltic concrete to serve
as the surface course.
OUTSTANDING
BEHAVIOUR
An analysis of the dynamic behaviour of pavement
structures and their failure modes shows the
indisputable advantages of Tricouche in terms of
service live.
In a conventional structure with bonded layers of
similar stiffness characteristics, any fatigue crack
that appears at the base of the structure propagates
very quickly to the surface.
In a Tricouche structure, in which the intermediate
layer is much less rigid than the other two,the
failure mode is sequential and the propagation of
the crack is blocked at each interface, where a new
crack initiation process is needed for the failure to
continue.
This favourable configuration is made possible by
an elastic modulus ratio of the materials used of
between 2 and 10.
At higher ratios, as for instance in the case of an
intermediate layer of untreated aggregate, major
tensile stresses appear at the base of the upper and
lower layers, which cannot be reduced by increasing
the thickness of the intermediate layer. The high
fatigue resistance of the material at the base of the
Tricouche structure, together with sequential failure,
lend the process its outstanding performance.
Tricouche was tested on the fatigue bench at
the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussées
in Nantes. The experiments demonstrated the
structure’s specific dynamic behaviour as well as the
benefits of the new concept in terms of durability.
Following passage of 4.3 million 13 tonne axle
equivalents corresponding to 15 years of T1 traffic
(500 trucks/day), Tricouche showed no signs of
fatigue or deterioration.

Tricouche® - Outstanding strength

  • 1. TRICOUCHE STRUCTURE FOR PAVEMENT UNDER HEAVY TRAFFIC Outstanding strength
  • 2. TRICOUCHE STRUCTURE FOR PAVEMENT UNDER HEAVY TRAFFIC key benefits A cost-effective material Excellent mechanical properties Unrivalled service life Can be produced with the Tempera® processes key figures Contracting authorities often call for pavement structures that will withstand traffic without damage for long periods of time. When traffic is heavy, this requirement is generally met by providing thick structures with a variety of layers of well-defined types and characteristics. The conventional rule that the lowest-quality materials should be placed in the lower levels and the higher-performance materials at the surface is disproved by a new structure designed and developed by Eurovia. It reflects better knowledge of pavement dynamics and the ongoing effort to rationalize the use of available materials. These structures are thinner but ensure long service life in pavements with heavy traffic. Tricouche is the result of Eurovia studies that analysed the mechanics of pavement structures with a view to using the highest-performance materials only in those areas of the structure that are subjected to the highest loadings. The process replaces the usual upper base course / lower base course tandem with a structure made up of two thin outside layers of high- performance bituminous materials separated by a less expensive intermediate material with lower performance. Setra certificate issued in 2005 Modulus ratio of the materials used beetween 2 and 10 Thickness reduced by up to factor of 2 while maintaining technical characteristics
  • 3. high TRAFfIC… savings ASSURed At equal service life, a 200 mm thick (60 + 80 + 60 mm) Tricouche structure is equivalent to 250 mm of high-modulus asphalt or 380 mm of Class 2 road base asphalt. The materials balance (aggregate, hydrocarbon products) obviously confirms the advantages of the Tricouche solution. Reducing thicknesses generates immediate savings in projects using the process and contributes to environmental protection, both directly by limiting the aggregate needed and indirectly by reducing the energy required to manufacture and lay these materials. The performance of Tricouche recommends it for the construction of pavements subject to heavy traffic, over substrates of low to medium bearing capacity and for long service lives. WHAT IT TAKES for SUCCesS The upper and lower layers of Tricouche consist of a thin application of high-modulus asphalt or Renfovia. This asphalt mix has excellent mechanical properties, and in particular high stiffness modulus and high elongation capacity under repeated loadings. Formulated with 0/10 aggregate, it is laid in a single thickness that is independent of the traffic and set at the minimum technically feasible level of 60 to 70 mm. The middle layer is often made up of Grave Mousse, a material made by adding foamed hot bitumen to unheated aggregate, typically of 0/14 grading. It is applied in a thickness determined by a structural pavement design, generally between 80 and 150 mm. A specific road base asphalt with low binder content can also be used. A surface course of very thin asphaltic overlay, for example Microvia TM® or Rugovia TM® , lends the pavement the desired surface characteristics. In certain cases, the upper layer of Tricouche can be made of high-modulus asphaltic concrete to serve as the surface course.
  • 4. OUTSTANDING BEHAVIOUR An analysis of the dynamic behaviour of pavement structures and their failure modes shows the indisputable advantages of Tricouche in terms of service live. In a conventional structure with bonded layers of similar stiffness characteristics, any fatigue crack that appears at the base of the structure propagates very quickly to the surface. In a Tricouche structure, in which the intermediate layer is much less rigid than the other two,the failure mode is sequential and the propagation of the crack is blocked at each interface, where a new crack initiation process is needed for the failure to continue. This favourable configuration is made possible by an elastic modulus ratio of the materials used of between 2 and 10. At higher ratios, as for instance in the case of an intermediate layer of untreated aggregate, major tensile stresses appear at the base of the upper and lower layers, which cannot be reduced by increasing the thickness of the intermediate layer. The high fatigue resistance of the material at the base of the Tricouche structure, together with sequential failure, lend the process its outstanding performance. Tricouche was tested on the fatigue bench at the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussées in Nantes. The experiments demonstrated the structure’s specific dynamic behaviour as well as the benefits of the new concept in terms of durability. Following passage of 4.3 million 13 tonne axle equivalents corresponding to 15 years of T1 traffic (500 trucks/day), Tricouche showed no signs of fatigue or deterioration. 250 mm high- modulus asphalt 200 mm 60 mm high modulus asphalt 60 mm high modulus asphalt 80 mm Class 2 road base asphalt Tricouche structure TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT 18, place de l’Europe - 92565 Rueil-Malmaison Cedex Tel. : 33 (0)1 47 16 38 00 - Fax : 33 (0)1 47 16 38 01 www.eurovia.com technique@eurovia.com –February2014-photoscredit:photolibraryEurovia Tricouche received a Setra certificate in November 2005 as part of the Road Innovation Charter.
