This report provides a comprehensive overview of the fate of end-of-life tyres, the tyre recycling industry in Australia and New Zealand, the specifications for the use of crumb rubber in road applications and the potential benefits of other-than-…

This report documents a project to develop a new laboratory fatigue relationship to predict the performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. The project focused on extensive laboratory experiments including indirect tensile testing and…

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…

This discussion paper examines the consequences of 'peak oil' for road asset management and identified several key issues as the potential subject of future research to assist asset managers in managing the consequences of 'peak oil'. This paper is…

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…
