Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design provides advice for the investigation of existing sealed road pavements and the selection and design of pavement strategies/treatments. It covers pavement investigation,…

Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4K: Selection and Design of Sprayed Seals is a guide to the procedures for the selection and design of sprayed seals. This is an update of previous Austroads procedures based on the philosophy of filling up voids in…

New methods of using pavement deflection data were developed in the context of pavement structural rehabilitation treatment design. The project focused on two main components. The first was to assess the potential use of traffic speed deflectometer…

This webinar, presented on 22 August 2019, provides an overview of the key changes to the Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design and the significant advances in the thickness design of structural treatments for…

The use of stabilisation technology for stabilising and recycling materials for pavement construction and maintenance is widely accepted as a cost-effective method of improving long‑term performance and reducing whole-of-life costs of modern,…

This webinar, presented on 11 April 2019, gives an overview of the key changes to the Guide and the significant advances in the areas of stabilisation or road pavements.

This report presents an extensive literature review of pavement surface texture measurement methods with a specific interest in how they affect operator safety and delays to traffic. The literature review shows that there are a number of methods in…

In 1993, Austroads performed an extensive trial of foamed bitumen sprayed sealing in Australia, as a part of environmental and energy effective sealing technology development program. The trials were conducted in various states and reported to be…

This report reviewed overseas and Australian experience in using bitumen emulsions. Increasing economic and environmental pressures have induced an increase in demand for the use of bitumen emulsions overseas. However, emulsion sprayed seals are…

A review of bleeding or flushed seals was undertaken to determine what physical changes had taken place within the seal that had resulted in the binder lying at or close to the surface. The evaluation process used a visual appraisal and a digital…
