Fibre reinforced seals comprise a sprayed sealing treatment consisting of a layer of glass fibre strands sandwiched between two coats of a polymer modified bituminous emulsion. The fibres are applied randomly to form a mat that resists reflective…

The 2004 Austroads Pavement Design Guide provides guidance on the design of new pavements for moderate-to-heavily trafficked roads. For lightly trafficked roads, Austroads have published a companion document ‘Pavement Design for Lightly Trafficked…

This Pavement Work Tip provides a guide to calculate the volume of liquid bituminous binders relative to a standard temperature of 15°C.

The report summarises the activity in the Austroads sprayed seal design project for 2003/2004. Austroads member authorities were surveyed to determine if there were further issues with sprayed seal design that needed resolution. Recommendations for…

The Austroads Guide to the Selection and Design of Asphalt Mixes does not address the design of mixes containing Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP). The report contains the additions and amendments which should be made to the next revision of the Guide…

A new, performance related asphalt mix design procedure was developed to address increased traffic stressing of pavements and to evaluate new mix types and new binder formulations. A series of Workshops was held in the capital cities of Australia…

This report records the work undertaken in the development of Pavement Design – A Guide to the Structural Design of Road Pavements, initially published by the National Association of Australian State Road Authorities (NAASRA) in 1987 and…
