Use of Road-grade Recycled Plastics for Sustainable Asphalt Pavements: Final Performance and Environmental Assessment Part A
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.…
Guidelines and Specifications for Microsurfacing
Guidelines and Specification for Microsurfacing provides guidelines for the use of microsurfacing treatments in Australia. Microsurfacing is presently the only type of bituminous slurry surfacing applied in Australia. The document was produced by…
Improved Distress Viscosity Model for Reseal Intervention
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…
Development of an Aggregate Size Term for a Reseal Intervention Model
An existing model predicted maximum seal life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters and binder durability (resistance to hardening).…
Sprayed Seal Design 2003/04: Summary
The report summarises the activity in the Austroads sprayed seal design project for 2003/2004. Austroads member authorities were surveyed to determine if there were further issues with sprayed seal design that needed resolution. Recommendations for…
Environmental Assessment of Emulsions
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…
