Guide to Pavement Technology Part 2: Pavement Structural Design provides advice for the structural design of sealed road pavements. The advice has been generally developed from the approaches followed by the Austroads member agencies. However, as it…

The use of stabilisation technology for stabilising and recycling materials for pavement construction and maintenance is widely accepted as a cost-effective method of improving long‑term performance and reducing whole-of-life costs of modern,…

Guide to Bridge Technology Part 7 discusses the structural management of existing bridges in practical technical terms. It documents practices relevant to forward works programming, inspection, recording, reporting, evaluation of bridge condition…

Part 8 of the Guide to Pavement Technology provides advice on the general requirements for the management of quality assurance, construction planning, earthworks, subsurface drainage, unbound pavements, stabilised pavements, sprayed bituminous…

Part 6 covers the range of site activity likely to be met in constructing small to medium road and pedestrian bridges up to 40 m in maximum span. To ensure that bridges are properly constructed in accordance with the design drawings and…

Guide to Bridge Technology Part 1: Introduction and Bridge Performanceprovides guidance to bridge owners and authorities on technology related issues relevant to bridge ownership, design procurement, vehicle and pedestrian accessibility and bridge…

The focus of Guide to Asset Management Part 6 is on how to best manage the physical bridge assets. It provides guidance on the establishment and maintenance of bridge asset inventories, and on the monitoring of asset performance. It discusses the…

Controlling the moisture content of pavements during construction reduces the risk of damage to the pavement. This technical note provides advice related to specifying, constructing and testing pavements.

This technical note covers factors that can be considered in the design process and how they affect the performance of the stabilised materials.
