Résumé

Cet article décrit une série d’expériences sur des modèles réduits en polyuréthane d’un barrage-voûte, démontrant la relation qui existe entre le comportement élastique du barrage et la dimension et le mode d’appui de la fondation.

Summary

The paper describes a set of experiments on a small-scale polyurethane model of an arch dam in an elastic valley, demonstrating the relation between the elastic behaviour of the dam and the size and mode of support of the foundation block.
