Webinar: Use of Road-grade Recycled Plastics for Sustainable Asphalt Pavements Part 3: Performance Outcomes Part B and Future Recyclability
Austroads has completed its project APT6305 Use of Road-grade Recycled Plastics for Sustainable Asphalt Pavements which was investigating road-grade recycled plastics that can be used to construct and maintain asphalt roads. The project results are…
Use of Road-grade Recycled Plastics for Sustainable Asphalt Pavements: Final Performance and Environmental Assessment Part B
This report is Part B of the third report for the APT6305 project. The first report examined road-grade recycled plastics in asphalt pavements and investigated the most suitable types of recycled plastics for incorporation into the asphalt. The…
Webinar: Maximising the Use of Sustainable Rehabilitation Treatments
This webinar, presented by Dr Negin Zhalehjoo, Andrew Papacostas and Dr Didier Bodin, focuses on the outcomes of an Austroads research project &ldquo
Laboratory Fatigue Characterisation of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Materials
This report documents a project to develop a new laboratory fatigue relationship to predict the performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. The project focused on extensive laboratory experiments including indirect tensile testing and…
Fibre-Reinforced Seals
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…
Technical Basis of Austroads Pavement Design Charts for Light Traffic

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…
