Abstract


Road construction often cause certain environmental impact, due to:
  1. - The big earthmovings required to gain the ideal grade profile.
  2. - The extraction of materials from gravels mine or quarries necessary to implement granular stabilizations of poor quality soils.
In rural roads the first point have not significant entity, as for the saving cause and for the traffic characteristics, excavation quantities are very short. It is not the case of the second point, as for the great amount of earthwork that this type of stabilization needs, can cause environmental changes of some importance in zones of development of this works. This paper attempt to show present available methods, designed to reduce impact, by means of the usage of techniques and materials that needs not to operate with spoil earths.
