This report provides the results of testing of three potentially reactive aggregates by the accelerated mortar bar test (AMBT) and the concrete prism test (CPT).
The tests were conducted using reference mixes, which contained plain Portland cement as…
This report summarises the results of experiments undertaken to understand the practices required to enable a 100-year design life of bridges in an aggressive environment.
The experimental work was informed by an extensive literature review and…
This report details a literature review on durability issues that affect the service life of reinforced concrete structures.
The review focused on information from sources within Australia and overseas, including published literature, standards,…
This report documents the results of an Austroads project to identify the asset management needs and level of service (LOS) requirements of future non-freight road users.
Preliminary work documented the relationship of this project to other Austroads…
This report documents the outcomes of surveys of road freight drivers, operators and road infrastructure managers to better understand their asset management level of service (LOS) requirements.
The survey responses identified three primary road…
This proof of concept study used the data condensation technology of stochastic information packets (SIPs) in MS Excel to allow complete storage of all collected data. This approach, when connected to a pavement management system (PMS), was able to…
Performance modelling is an asset management tool used to quantify or qualify the performance of a bridge within the context of the overall bridge network. Performance modelling techniques include the use of performance indicators and deterioration…
Despite the fact that the occurrence of large earthquakes in Australia is rare, the consequences can be fatal and costly. The performance of bridges during and after earthquake events is critical in ensuring that road networks remain operational and…
