Abstrakt: Several degradations of soils/certain structures are felt in Guinea these last decades. In Lower and Middle Guinea where, in addition to being perceived as the result of a seasonal phenomenon, it has become a real socio-economic issue of scientific interest: ours. Our objective is to provide geoscientific and geotechnical answers to this problem: it is the best way to adapt infrastructures to the constraints of their environments. Our work unmasks meteorological and anthropogenic factors as sources of the plague. The latter accelerate the hydric and wind erosion of the supports (soils), mostly lateritic (diversified), who's in-situ and laboratory tests show bearing capacities between ]341 KPa-792 KPa [ in Middle Guinea and ]3.5 Bars-5 Bars [ in Lower Guinea. Coupled with monitoring programs, a slab/concrete mesh foundation is well suited to ensure the durability of structures in Middle Guinea and a deep foundation in Kipé. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
