Full textLes cellules étudiées sont cubiques et constituées de grillage à maille hexagonale et de géotextile, et remplies de matériau granulaire grossier, de sable ou de mélange sable-pneus déchiquetés.
Le comportement de cellules individuelles a été étudié expérimentalement pour des chargements pseudo-statique et dynamique. Il apparaît que la réponse de la cellule à faible déformation, sous compression pseudo-statique, dépend principalement des caractéristiques du matériau de remplissage. Celles de l'enveloppe interviennent en grandes déformations. Sous impact, par une sphère de 250kg, la capacité d'une cellule à limiter les contraintes transmises à son support dépend des conditions aux limites de la cellule et, dans une moindre mesure, du matériau de remplissage. La configuration optimale est une cellule remplie du matériau granulaire grossier libre de se déformer latéralement.
Les modèles numériques de comportement mécanique des matériaux et des cellules, de type éléments discrets, ont été calés et validés grâce aux résultats de ces expérimentations.
Les résultats ont été extrapolés à l'échelle de l'ouvrage dans le but d'orienter les choix structurels en vue d'expérimentations sur ouvrage vraie grandeur.

Full textThis study deals with the mechanical behaviour of geocells as possible components of rock fall protection dykes. These structures aiming at stopping falling rocks are placed across their probable trajectory. Geocells are metric structures associating a manufactured envelop together with a granular ma terial. Cells of concern are cubic and made of an hexagonal wire mesh and a geotextile and are filled with coarse granular material, sand or a mixture of sand and scrapped tyres. The behaviour of individual cells was investigated experimentall y under quasistatic and dynamic loadings. For low strain levels, the cell response under uniaxial compression appears to mainl y depend on the filling material characteristics. The envelop influence the high strain level response. Under impact, by a 250kg spherical boulder, the capacity of a cell to restrict the stress on its support depends on the cell boundary conditions and, to a smaller extent, on the filling material. The optimum configuration consists of a laterally free to deform cell filled with the coarse granular material. Numerical mo dels of the materials and of the cells were calibrated and validated thanks to the experimental resul ts. The resul ts were extrapolated to the structure scale with the aim of turning the choice for structural solutions for dykes to be submitted to impact experiments

Full textThe use of gabions means a reduced amount of filling material in the road section and a more narrow construction. Also the use of limestone cement columns can be reduced. All together this results in lower costs. The columns stand for about 55% of the total costs for the road. If gabions are used you can reduce the total costs with over 10%.

Full textIn this thesis an literature study have been done to examines how the retaining walls of various kinds can be performed in a maintenance friendly way. This means that the cost of operation and maintenance must be kept at a reasonable level with "normal maintenance". The work has been carried out on behalf of and supervised by Nacka Municipality. Retaining walls have the task of caring for earth pressure and also possible traffic loads from roads or parking areas. This demands that the retaining wall is dimensioned for the loads, and also for the different types of attacks that can occur with regard to the environment. Retaining walls that are in great need of maintenance is now a problem for Nacka municipality. At present, the municipality is getting all its retaining walls supplied by basically the same type and company. This means that the costs of operation and maintenance are also located on the same level. To examine the types of support walls that are available in the market today a categorization have been made of the most common retaining walls, their advantages, disadvantages and uses of the different types. An LCC calculation has been done to help identify the difference between the different support walls with respect to the initial cost of the product, and operation and maintenance costs over its lifetime. Concrete which is the dominant material that retaining walls are built of today have been explained more thoroughly with regard to the damage that may occur and also how they can be avoided. One of the results of the work is that with higher requirements during the design stage can damages that are frequently be avoided, or kept at an acceptable level during retaining walls durability. Effects may be cracking, spalling and corrosion of reinforcement.

Full textLibreville the capital of Gabon makes face since the end of 1980s with important problems of insalubrity in touch with the solid waste. Developed geographical approach offers an analysis of correlations between the actors, their logic and means of action in an agglomeration marked by socio-space inequality to reveal the major dysfunctions which affect the quality of the urban service of the solid waste. The recent policies of decentralization and concession still do not contribute to resolve efficiently the problems of inequality of access to the local service of the solid waste because they are the object of institutional conflicts enters les for you and the State. The technical choices of elimination of garbage implemented by SOVOG, society private concessionary, do not take into account the diversity of the situations of development and equipment of the quarters of Libreville. That's why in the popular péricentraux and peripheral quarters, the populations which live in the enclosed shoals are excluded from the collecting of garbage. It is in this context that develop the informal practices of rejection of waste certain borrowed in the middle country. On the contrary in the rich quarters, the rates of collection are well brought up. The popular initiative which develops in quarters registers in a context of gouvernance and democratization still fragile and uncertain. Of this fact the public institutions remain the central actors of the management of waste

Full textSolid wastes management has an impact on environment. It requires the awareness of the whole society, at every level. The insalubrity is an old phenomenon in Libreville, which leads to multiple mobilisations. It sets in motion all the social actors; so that is it deserve a study as a revelatory of social dynamics. The piling of waste damages the living conditions of the citizens. Public services, traditionally in charge of removing waste, are forced to reforms - delegation, decentralization. At the same lime, various individual and collective actors - environmentalist movements, citizens' organizations, and cottage industries- are trying to organize themselves. The inquiries on those processes have shown that the multiplicity of the actors and practices in the city, the territorialization of management strategies, and the deficit of regulation create disparities and tensions, revealing cleavages in Libreville's society. Votecatching, the solution chosen by authorities to contain social tensions, facilitates the inequalities in urban services by reducing the efficiency of the solutions imagined by inhabitants

Full textGabon has a particular demographic context. Its fertility never reached very high levels because of a widespread pathological infertility, which appears to have decreased in a significant way these last years. According to the first Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), conducted in 2000, the country seems to have started its fertility transition, in spite of a pro-birth policy enforced until recently. Moreover, as in many African countries there is a marriage transition, marked by a significant delay of the marriage age and the development of informal unions. These evolutions -are caused by "modernisation" (increasing of educational levels, urbanisation, etc. ), but also by the economic crisis. In addition, changing fertility and marriage behaviours are tightly related to a redefinition of the relationships between men and women. The censuses and the DHS are not fully appropriate to the study of these transformations, because they give only a cross vision of them, whereas in Africa the constitution of the unions is a process which can be long and complex. Moreover, they do not take into account sexuality, visiting unions and male behaviours. Our research is thus based on interviews and a quantitative survey. The survey I conducted in Libreville in 1999, on a sample of 484 women and 424 men, deals with sexual, matrimonial and reproductive behaviours. It gives the detailed matrimonial history of the individuals, with the various stages of the marriage process, and their fertility biography. Thus, this thesis explores, partly with event history analysis, the matrimonial and fertility changes between different generations, the relationships between matrimonial life and fertility life and compares female and male life-cycles

Full textThe study of the dynamics of the town of Lambarene made it possible to distinguish the various factors which contribute to the development of this city. On the geographical level, Lambarene occupies, a strategic position; it is the node of relation, the crossroads of communication networks road and river. Its central position and its economic assets explain the surge of the populations of various national and foreign origins. The multiplicity, the mixing and the diversity of those make of Lambarene a genuine melting-pot. With the economic plan and industrialist, whereas the small towns are in general mono-industrial, Lambarene is pluri-industrial. This character pluri-industrialist is due to a large number of foreign companies which strongly take part in the development of this urban area. The presence of these multinationals is revealing anchoring and opening of Lambarene to globalization. The interest of this study is articulated around the double demographic and economic dynamics which underlies the development of Lambarene and in fact an economic pole of importance in Gabon

Full textSince a score of years, important upheavals characterize the sociolinguistic landscape of Libreville. These upheavals result in the fast increase of the local migrations, the integration of former rural zones in the urban perimeter, the schooling of the young people by the means of a language not of origin, but of great prestige, the reception of a great number of foreign populations having brought with them their languages. These phenomena of reorganization of space and contact of the languages and cultures became such extensive in the Gabonese capital in the period of colonial post modernity, that they gave the city the image of a strong, heterogeneous and multilingual company. The situations of contact of the languages and cultures are not without consequences. They imply changes relating to the linguistic behaviors of the groups and individuals. These changes are known and several researchers identified and studied them, in particular those concerning the dynamic socio-linguistic ones of the raised or undervalued languages. Main goal of this thesis consists in questioning on the uses of the local languages by young people of Libreville district (15-35 years). More specifically, it is a question of analyzing the impact of the social practices in use in the public places of sociability, through the word in order to highlight the extent of the practice of the local languages in the aforementioned districts. Generally, the results of the analyses are summarized as follows: - Firstly, three important languages are spoken in Libreville district among the linguistic exchanges. They are the fang, the punu and the nzebi. - Secondly, the declared knowledge of a language necessarily does not mean that its speakers include/understand it and/or speak it very well. - Thirdly, quarters of the east of Libreville are areas quality of life and linguistic territories favorable to the practice of the local languages of East Libreville, and the expression of the plurilingualism in local language

Full textThe study of deposits of three lakes of Gabon revealed: At Kamalété two episodes were recovered: from 1410 to 520 BP, one observes the end of forest deterioration that central Africa knew between 2500-2000 BP. This episode is marked by a low lake level and a landscape slightly forester. Then, from 520 BP until today a wetter episode is characterized by a high lake level and a landscape increasingly forest. At Nguène, one notes three episodes. From 4110 to 2540 BP, a wet phase is characterized by a primary forest and a marshy environment receiving irregular fluxes from Abanga river. From 2540 to 1950 BP, forest deterioration is marked by an opening of the landscape and a marshy environment where sandy fluxes of Abanga river gradually disappeared. Lastly, from 1950 BP until today, one observes a new wet phase marked by a high lake level, a permanent communication between the lake and Abanga river and by a late forest renewal which took place only as from 990 BP. At Maridor, one notes three episodes. Former to 3795 BP, an immersion of the site would indicate a wet phase characterized by a marshy environment. During the second episode an emergence is due to a climate slightly wet around 3795 BP, it shows a podzolisation of the deposits. Lastly, the third episode of installation of the lake goes from ca. 3500 BP until today. It reveals three sub-episodes of which first going from 3500 to 2190 BP shows the forest deterioration that central Africa knew between 2500-2000 BP. This sub-episode is marked by a gradual opening of the landscape

Full textGabon's Petroleum memories began in the early 1900s. They are rooted in older memories from which they were fed. Territorial and genealogical knowledge of the nomad tribes represented the main aspect of collective memory during Gabon's pre-colonial period. Memory was transmitted through orality in a context of slavery. This context caused the appearance of a social hierarchy within tribes and among those established along the river Ogooué. Slavery was the first economic cycle to bind Europe to future Gabon. With the colonisation new memory contents based upon specialised economic cycles reshaped Gabonese societies. These cycles were mainly concentrated on small land extensions, in a little country counting few people. The exploiting of the Okoumé was the last of these cycles ; it started at the beginning of the 19th century thirty years before the petroleum conquest would follow the colonial and precolonial cycles inheriting and remoulding their own memories. The first Oil discovery in Gabon on the Mandji Island in 1956 occurred few years before the independence, in 1960. Once again, all the human energies of the country were focused on this cycle, which "petrolized" and urbanized the coast. This cycle reinforced the social hierarchies that pre-existed while adding new ones : national professional categories separated "Expatriates" from "Africans", and "Managers" from "Non Managers". An oil ideology was emerging. Written, it served both the Gabonese state and the oil company. Meanwhile, an orality of an injured memory was spoken among the lower classes of society. These memories were mixing, getting richer with the impact of politics and religion through collective or individual strategies of identity defence

Full textThis academic dissertation is a reflection on the mode of management of infertile couples in Gabon. It gives a peculiar eyesight on the introduction and reception of medically assisted procreation ((MAP) in the Gabonese collective imagination. This research analyses in-depth, behavior, beliefs as to domestic infertility and the new reproductive techniques. Besides, this study reports changes/evolutions of family solidarity towards infertile couples. Many field data give rise to the opinion that medically assisted procreation would be the ultimate mean for fighting infertility regardless of its pretended witchcraft origins. Infertile couples hence find in such method the opportunity to take the spell off themselves, and also to free themselves from the "children threatening ogre" label. Individualization of Gabonese society implies that fostering is less approved: couples hence seek through medically assisted procreation a biological child rather than social

Full textStomoxyine flies are hematophagous and represent, for man and his domestic animals, a plague by their direct harmful effect (harassing and blood predation), and they can be at the same time potential vectors of pathogenic agents. Those of the afrotropical region remain still badly known. The study of populations trapped in eight localities from Gabon made possible to identify seven species: Stomoxys calcitrans, S. N. Niger, S. N bilineatus, S. Omega, S. Inornatus, S. Transvittatus, and S. Xanthomelas. Population survey was carried out for 13 months in Makokou, along a transect crossing three environments: primary forest, secondary forest and a strongly anthropized area (a village). Results showed the major influence of each type of environment on the abundance of flies. The abundance was low in primary forest and very high in secondary forest and anthropized medium The S. Xanthomelas species is characteristic of the forest area while the S. N bilineatus species is strongly localised in the savannah zones. Except S. Omega, which is a crepuscular species, other species have a diurnal activity. The daily activity of the various species varies according to the environment. In primary forest they present a unimodal activity while in the two other media they have a bimodal activity. The stomoxyine flies take their bloodmeals on various vertebrate hosts of wild or domestic fauna, and sometimes on the man. The S. Transvittatus species is ubiquist, and mainly takes his bloodmeals on duikers (Cephalophus spp) while S. Xanthomelas prefers monkeys (Cercopithecus spp. )

Full textThe site of Libreville is characterized by a hilly landscape, makes of hills, but especially boxed small valleys and wide swampy valleys: the slums. At first, the city evolved on hills and zones exshowers, avoiding systematically the stiff slopes, the boxed small valleys and the swampy zones. With the increase in population of the 1970s and in the absence of any planning, the urbanization continued in the slums creating sub-integrated districts where concentrate the main urban troubles. In the physical depressions thus settled down the social depressions, making of Libreville a city mined by the urban problems of any orders. The floods, the landslides and the collapses coexist with the insalubrity and the problems of health, the poverty and the precarious living conditions. The slums, still called matitis or mapanes, represent more than 80 % of the built surface today and are the expression of a not mastered urban growth. For a long time indicated as spaces of socio-spatial segregation, matitis is henceforth places of social coeducation where meet themselves populations of various social classes. To envisage the development of the Gabonese capital supposes the drastic arrangement and the viabilisation of mapanes. It also supposes that the local authorities take in hand and supervise the urban growth. For that purpose, the application of the principles of good governance turns out authoritarian in a city which lived at the rate of the more or less scandalous diversions of the public deniers. The eradication of matitis is a challenge for authorities and a chance for thousands of populations which live there

Full textThis thesis is a reflection on the cohabitations outside marriage in Gabnon. It analyzes the changes in the process of marital union, in sexuality, in the family solidarity necessary to the constitution of the dowry or marital deal of a close relative who wishes to get married, in family roles with regard to sex and generations. Our conclusions show that marriage no longer constitutes the family basis and unions outside marriage also known as cohabitation have become the first stage leading to the union. With regard to the new forms of conjugality and to the aspiration of the couples, we notice that rules and forms of "traditional" matrimoniality reconstitute with the current transformations. The current process of social individualization reflects a changing society whose mechanisms are fueled by "traditional" as well as "modern" considerations. The Gabonese modernity is based on various cultures stemming from ethnic mix and from social models coming from outside

Full textThis study deals with Islam in urban areas in Gabon and aims at showing that Islam, as a primarily urban phenomenon, is now an integral part of the social, religious, economic and political environment of Gabon. Islam is considered a minority religion on a social level, and is practiced by a population consisting primarily of immigrants. However, due to conversions Islam currently occupies the second place among the religions of the Book in Gabon. The unique dynamics of islam in Gabon allow us to understand Gabonese social reality not only through the study of models and patterns, which preside over it in part, but also through the lens of religious practices, which demonstrate that that society is constantly in the process of renewing itself. In this way, we can examine how Islam structures historical situations and social organizations, as well as the existing gaps between "official" aspects of society and its social practices. Islam in Gabon is a minority religion that accomplished its social development and constructed its uniqueness on the local level, assisted by members of "political society" themselves converted to the faith of Mohammed, the Mamadous. These individuals consider Islam as one of their managing domains capable of reinforcing the power of the hegemonic block. In this way, the conversion to islam of President El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba and his entourage, combined with his political longevity, has established an imaginary in the Gabonese society, that is to say, a place for the construction of its social, economic and political history, both before and after the independence of the country. Thus, for the "political society", Islam in Gabon is one of the central elements of political and economic power, and it is constitutive of the dialectic of accumulation of "powers" of the reign of President Omar Bongo Ondimba. By bringing Gabonese population into new contingencies – notably religious - African modernity has tended to substitute lineages : that of the clan by that of the national community, that of the Church by that of the Mosque. This is "deparentelisation" which means an emphasis on social and political relations. Thus, through the conversion of deparentelized persons, the Mamadou and the Makaya, islam reconfigures and reconstructs the positions of the social and political relations in Gabonese society. Therefore, Islam in Gabon is part of the power structure called "phantom power" that operates on the basis of both visibility and invisibility
Nkoma, Ackye Gisele. "Les familles recomposées au Gabon : réalité, enjeux et discours dans l’exercice de la fonction parentale." Paris, EHESS, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012EHES0548.
Full textIn Gabonese society, blended families were traditionally due to fostering, levirate and sororate marriages, widow(er) hood, and polygamy which presented the advantage of allowing the family to function as an institution. Yet today, divorces, separations, remarriages and cohabitation have given way to new forms of blended families where the parental link is increasingly based on selection, which creates competition between blood relations and voluntary relations. These changes, which touch the social redefinition of relations within blended families, have been made possible with the adoption of a civil code since Gabonese families have gone from genealogical relations to biological relations. These relations celebrate the triumph of the conjugal family. In addition, the arrangements of the civil code have disqualified the statuses and cultural mechanisms that had previously permitted parents to raise children that were not theirs. From that point, the question of social redefinition of family relations was at the heart of the debate. In this context where endogenous and exogenous cultural logics confront each other, the joint exercise of the parental function within blended families is either legitimized or damaged. When it is legitimized, the real status of the spouse is hidden and the spouse assumes the role of social father or mother of a child. When it is legitimized, the real status of the spouse is unveiled and their position as the social parent by marriage is denied, they become a simple foster father or stepmother

Full textWith the notice that, today, Gabonese ethnic languages are less spoken by the young, parents become more concern with the necessity to pass on their language to their children. The approach adopted here is based on the analysis of endogroup and exogroup phenomena. We examine, on the one hand the interaction process among members of a linguistic group, and on the other hand the relationships that speakers of different ethnic languages may have one another. Our study is backed upon declared usages stemming from a survey carried out in two Gabonese cities (Libreville and Lambaréné), chosen because of their multiethnic feature. It comes out from this survey that the family still stands as a trustworthy element for the transmission of ethnic languages in Gabon. However, conscious of the fact that the only domestic unit seems not sufficient enough for the maintaining of ethnic languages, we must consider their introduction in the curriculum. But with regard the failure of the various attempts to introduce ethnic languages in the education system, we start wondering about the range of the linguistic policies implemented on the national level. The review of these policies allows us to conclude that the learning of Gabonese ethnic languages needs first a language planning. Their statute is still precarious before the imperialism of the colonial language, French

Full textThe rise of Asian interests has been one of the most significant developments faced by the logging industry in Gabon over the past two decades. Perceived as participating in China's strategy for access to natural resources in Africa, their presence raises concerns that highlight different webs of interests, both complementary and antagonistic, between a so called weak state and supposedly aggressive investments. This thesis aims to better understand these complex dynamics. The approach is interdisciplinary and examines society-environment relations through the lens of logging in Gabon. Based primarily on the socio-political and economic components of this industry, the analysis highlights the opportunistic character of the strategies employed by logging companies, by the State and by state officials. The shift to sustainable management fosters a hybrid form of forest governance, which favors the most adaptable economic strategies – notably those of Asian operators

Full textLes corps progradants sont représentés par des séquences de dépôt de 0. 5 à 5 Ma. La rampe paléogène comprend les trois éventails turbiditiques majeurs alimentés par de grands canyons, par contre, le système deltaïque montre des petits éventails à des vallées incisées et à des distributaires deltaïques. Douze lithofaciès fondamentaux correspondant à cinq environnements de dépôt ont été caractérisés sur carottes. Les debris flows et les faciès sableux de chenaux sont dominants dans les canyons miocènes, au droit du paléo-Ogooué. Le remplissage de ces canyons présente des séquences de groupement de chenaux d'origine allocyclique, en relation avec la structuration de la marge. Par contre, les séquences de remplissage des chenaux seraient liés à des processus d'avulsion. Leur superposition détermine une architecture générale rétrogressive, en relation avec une remontée du niveau marin relatif ; les chenaux deviennent corrélativement plus méandriformes. Les canyons éloignés du dépôt-centre présentent un remplissage contouritique dominant. Ce travail souligne la prédominance du forçage tectonique dans la construction du prisme de l'Ogooué

Full textThe advent of specialization in Gabon due to the internationalization of the capital remains - far beyond the vicissitudes of history - the foundation of the sociological upheavals registered in this field. Nevertheless, the effects are so far slow to arouse the national integration, key-factor for the social progress for the emancipation of the national population. In fact, as a positively demographical phenomena, but a fundamentally sociological nature, the urban growth of Libreville remains at the same time the condensed and localized expression of the national development. Compendium of the fringes of society, the crises of decentralization and town and country planning that the urban growth socially but indirectly displays - considered from the point of view of the dynamic of specialization by the international division of work - are so many patents traces of these fringes. The only suitable therapy consists in the institution of a rational planification. However, the preliminary and compulsory condition is the advent of a really independent state, which is the judicial and thus legitimate emanation of the civil society

Full textAs we know, the colonial period has produced a complex linguistic situation which also caused heavy social cultural implications in French speaking countries in black Africa, especially in Gabon. Overall, we observe a surperimposition phenomenon of languages on the hand French set as the language of power and prestige at the disposal of elites and civil servants, on the other African languages often reduced to a less laudatory status, as indigenous dialects not proper to teaching and acquiring scientific acquaintances. The purpose of this work is to help us understand and know, the speaking and promotion of French around the world as a cultural force and a kinetic energy in the building up of a Gabonese nation that is in motion since its independence in 1960. Our main purpose isn’t to justify the speaking and promotion of French around the world but to show the contribution it has brought to the building up of a friendly and prosper Gabon ever since the French language arrived on the Gabonese soil

Full textThe study of gabonese broadcasting, television and press accentuates the close links between media and politics. Though, for a long time, radio and television were considered by the leaders as instruments of power, justifying the existence of state monopoly. This one was maintened until the end of eighties by law nʿ 4/89 of july, 6th 1989, determining the legal system of broadcasting and television in Gabon. The democratic wave that spread over French Africa in the early nineties didn't spare Gabon. Indeed, the political evolution towards multipartism thanks to the National Conference (Libreville, march 27th - april 21st 1990) was accompanied by an undeniable media pluralism. Beside the traditional public sector, a private one grew. Press, governed in the past by law nʿ 84/59 of January, 5th 1960, about freedom of the press ant thought was even touched by those changes. For the moment, many papers - thirty or so - were created. This quest for freedom was especially translated into will of redefine the communication laws. Therefore, the edict nʿ 7/93 of October, 1st 1993 about audiovisual, press and film communication was adopted. In the same way, the Constitution of march 26th, 1991 modified assert once again and establish the fundamentals principles of freedom of thought, expression and communication. It also establishes a regulatory authority of media (the National Council of Communication) and a constitutional Court, both in charge of assuring and looking after pluralism in press and audiovisual communication, which pluralism has a constitutional value

Full textThe 2007-2008 world food crisis, once again, has somewhat laid emphasis on the serious handicap of the Gabonese agricultural sector, though seen as the top priority of the economy. Gabon is undoubtedly one of the rare Sub-Saharan countries where agriculture, cattle breeding and fishing combined are less than 6% of the GDP. The dominating feature of oil, mining activities and the inadequate agricultural policy of the authorities (with a clear agricultural option) have ended up creating not only a deep gap between the various branches of the economy, but also resulted in a tremendous urban growth. Those changes have occurred to the detriment of the Gabonese rural area, emptied of its most valid forces. In the food-producing sector, the agricultural methods have remained unchanged, rudimentary and hardly productive. Despite their recent setting up of a market gardening belt around the main towns (especially Libreville), Gabonese peasants still lack dynamism and competitiveness. Their incapacity to draw substantial revenues from their activities and save money cripples their effort to contribute to the economic growth of the country. All the agricultural parameters are on the wane and keep the national output below the food needs of the populations, which makes Gabon depend on foreign foodstuffs heavily
