Austroads Project AT1064 Long Term Performance Monitoring and Model Development was initiated in 1994/95. The project was reviewed in 2003 and later in 2007 by GP Youdale Consulting Engineers to assess the project’s program and progress and, if…

This Pavement Work Tips provides guidance on estimating the amount of time available to achieve effective compaction under various conditions.

A major study was undertaken to determine relationships between binder rheological properties and the rut resistance of asphalt mixes, as indicated by the laboratory wheel tracking test. Twelve binders, including three bitumens, a Multigrade binder…

This Pavement Work Tip provides a handy reference to the recommended practice for cutting sprayed sealing binders.

This Pavement Work Tip provides a guide to selection and use of either prime and seal, or primerseals, as initial treatments for granular pavements.

This Pavement Work Tip is a practical guide for restoring texture to bleeding or flushed surfaces by applying additional aggregate with the assistance of chemical solvents.

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…

The use of warm mix asphalt (WMA) appears to be increasing throughout the developed world in place of conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA). Acceptance depends upon confirmation of the environmental benefits and that on-road performance is at least…

This report documents the surface life prediction models that have evolved from the long term sampling of the bitumen in sprayed seals and thin asphalt surfaces. The estimation of surface life is predicated on the basis of the mechanism of bitumen…
