Austroads Technical Specification ATS 3050 sets out the minimum requirements for the manufacture and supply of recycled crushed glass (RCG) for use in the following applications: As a granular material, including: bedding and haunching of pipes and…

This webinar, presented by Dr James Grenfell and Dr Didier Bodin, focuses on the development of a specification on the supply of recycled crushed glass sand as part of a project to support increased use of recycled crushed glass (RCG) in road…

The purpose of this guideline is to provide potential recyclers with the information they need to gain a better understanding of how recycled crushed glass (RCG) should be processed to make it fit-for-purpose for infrastructure applications. This…

This report presents the technical basis for the development of the Austroads technical specification and guideline for the use of recycled glass in bedding, backfilling material, concrete, road drainage, embankment fill, and landscaping…

Austroads Technical Specification ATS 3120 sets out the requirements for the supply of aggregates used for sprayed bituminous surfacing work. The technical specification can also be downloaded as a Word document.

This report examines the capacity of the extra-large wheel-tracking laboratory test method to predict the in-service performance of granular materials.

Rutting is a common distress mode of unbound granular bases under thin bituminous surfacings.

Five…

This report documents research to validate the wheel-tracking approach as a complementary means of evaluating the rutting performance of granular bases. Firstly, the influence of the moisture content on the laboratory wheel-tracking performances is…

A new rut resistance approach based on the wheel-tracking test for unbound granular materials has been developed. The objective of the Austroads project TT1819 is to validate the wheel-tracker laboratory approach against large-scale Accelerated…

This report presents an analytical and parametric study to assess the relevance of rutting performance models for unbound granular pavements.

The rutting performance relationship used in the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 2 – Pavement…

This document is an update of the design procedure for double/double sprayed seal surfacing. The information supersedes that in Update of the Austroads Sprayed Seal Design Method(Austroads 2006), and replaces Sections 6, 7 and 8 in that document.
