Résumé anglais Serge THIBAULT, Fractals and the structure of urban rainwater run-off systems. The evolution of the concept and management of rainwater run-off systems is the starting point for this research, which consists in linking the hydrological function of urban drainage pools to the morphology of the drainage systems. This latter element can be formulated as a model by means of fractal dimension theory. Thus, a system is defined as an arrangement of sections composing a spatial form, whose dimension can be understood as between one and two. This model, while taking into account the greater or lesser complexity of the object in question, is at the same time characterized by properties which illustrate an urban form via a particular technical network. We hope that this approach can be extended to other technical networks.
