Assessment of the effects of quarrying activities on the road network quality: a case study of Benslimane province, Morocco.

Résumé

The road network is affected as a result of the passage of the quarry trucks and the transportation of materials in the province of Benslimane. It is natural that the movement of selling the products of these quarries to neighboring cities such as Rabat, Mohammedia, Casablanca, and even Kenitra and El Jadida is active, which will move a huge fleet of trucks of various sizes, especially heavy ones, to transport the products of these quarries of stones, gravels, and marble. Due to the absence of external orbits, this huge fleet is forced to pass within the orbits of the local municipalities of the Benslimane province, which has become a threat to the road network, population, health, properties, and the conduct of their normal activities. The degree of danger and the intensity of impact on the quality of the road network varies according to other determinants such as traffic density, the type of load and trucks used to transport materials, the condition and nature of the roads used, and the duration of transportation periods. The results show the degree of use of the road network by the local population and quarry trucks that most of these latter use the roads concentrated in the east of the province, where most of the province's quarries are located with about 31 quarries, 19 of which are in the Ain Tizgha communes. While the average use of roads is concentrated in the center of the province, as they cross and depart mainly from the city of Benslimane in the direction of Bouznika, Mohammedia, and the districts. As for the poorly used roads, we find them in the far south of the province, where only a limited number of quarries are concentrated in Ahalaf communes and in the direction of the west.
