The present study based on the Sèhouè-Massi section of the Akassato-Bohicon road that is a part of the RNIE N°2 in Benin. The previous work done on the soil of this road section showed that it is on aexpansive clay formation. After had analyzed the auscultation and the geotechnical study results, a road inverse structure appropriate to the traffic was proposed</abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>expansive</kwd><kwd>degradation</kwd><kwd>traffic</kwd><kwd>road</kwd><kwd>Benin</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Georges Pilot, Daniel CHAPUT, Daniel QUEROI.Remblais routiers sur sols compressibles : étude et construction.
