Résumé

Nowadays, the question of the availability of good quality materials is increas ingly raised in road projects. This has led us to techniques for improving the performance of materials that can be used in road layers. Cement and lime treatment is a well-known technique for improving materials in road con struction . The test is done by adding a small amount of cement or lime to the material to be improved. This amount is determined at various percentages in order to obtain a good result. To carry out our study, it is necessary to study the raw material to see if it meets the standards, otherwise it must be improved. Indeed, for a material to be used in road layers, a minimum bearing capacity of 80% to 98% of OPM is required. Also, in order to understand the evolution of the CBR bearing capacity, we will make our materials suitable for road con struction by mixing them with lime and cement.

Investigating the effect of a base transceiver station (BTS) on the power production of a PV module
Patrice Wendlassida Compaore, Guy Serge Tchouadep, Adama Ouedraogo, Dioari Ulrich Combari, Issa Zerbo and Martial Zoungrana
In this experimental study, a solar panel was exposed to different intensities of an Electromagnetic Field (EMF) emitted by a base transceiver station (BTS). To avoid influences from other electromagnetic (EM) waves sources the current-voltage characteristics of the PV silicon solar panel was measured, outdoor in free space on an isolated site, in the sub-urban Boassa in West of the Ouagadougou city in Burkina Faso. The solar photovoltaic (PV) panel has been moved from 37 to 500 m from the antenna in order to investigate the effect of the amplitude of the EMF on its output power production. The experimental results showed that from 37 to 50 m, the fill factor (FF), the maximum power output (Pmax) and the conversion efficiency (η) increase respectively by about 2.62, 7.54 and 7.96% for the last two, while the short circuit current (Isc) decreases by about 2.23% compared to the values obtained at the 50 m position. Beyond the distance of 50 m, (r > 50 m) an opposite phenomenon is observed: increase of Isc by about 15%, decrease of fill factor, conversion efficiency (η) and maximum power output
respectively of about 2.1, 25.44, and 8.86% for the last two compared to the values obtained at the 50 m position. The behavior of the fill factor shows that despite the small variation of Voc compared to that of Isc, the behavior of certain electrical parameters such as the conversion efficiency and the maximum power out-put remain strongly influenced by Voc.
