Foaming of bitumen permits the bitumen to be evenly distributed throughout a soil or a granular material. It is critical for the bitumen to remain as viable foam for a period to enable it to be successfully blended into the host material.

This method describes the procedure for the laboratory determination of the resilient modulus of test cylinders of foamed bitumen stabilised mixes using repeat load indirect tensile techniques.

This method describes the procedure for adding foamed bitumen to a granular material to produce foamed bitumen stabilised material. The method is applicable to materials with a maximum nominal particle size of 40 mm (i.e. 100% passing the 37.5 mm…

This method describes the procedure for compacting cylindrical test specimens suitable for use in the determination of physical properties. The method is applicable to materials with a maximum nominal particle size of 40 mm (i.e. 100% passing the 37.…

Bridges, tunnels and other road structures are presently designed to achieve their design life requirement of 100 years. This may not necessarily lead to a cost-effective outcome and all asset owners are seeking the lowest whole of life cycle cost…

The Infrastructure Asset management is facing critical demand and challenges in encountering the concerning issues pertaining to the existing bridges due to un-foreseen accidents. The emergency issues arising due to possible vandalism, low height…

Collecting, processing, and administering data from bridge inspections underpins bridge lifecycle management. Although, the inspection process and identification of material defects is well defined and documented, little guidance is given on systems…

Roads and Maritime Services, New South Wales is responsible for managing over 5600 bridges and bridge size culverts, with a written down value of 12.5 billion and a replacement cost of 18.2 billion. Roads and Maritime bridge stock is the oldest and…

Rapidly improving design technology and the desire to optimise structural designs, present challenges, and also opportunities, for bridge designers. One of the most important components of a modern bridge is the bearings.
