This report is the third of a series of reports for project APT6305. The first report examined the use of road-grade recycled plastics in asphalt pavements and investigated the most suitable types of recycled plastics for incorporation into asphalt.…

This report investigates the origins of the current Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) criteria that differentiates modified granular materials from bound materials. Based on the review, a number of changes to the UCS design criteria are…

Over the last decade a considerable amount of research effort has been focussed on the development of a repeated load triaxial (RLT) test procedure to assist practitioners in the use of natural and marginal unbound base/subbase materials in road…

An existing model predicted binder life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters, binder durability (resistance to hardening) and seal…

This technical report resulted from a study to develop Austroads guidelines on network level assessment and analysis of data on pavement structural condition. This report outlines the benefits of network level assessment of the structural condition,…

Split into two sections, a summary and detailed scientific report, this report details a study into the environmental impact of the use of alternative bituminous binders in sprayed sealing work. An important goal of the work was to gain an…
