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 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 report examines the selection of an appropriate laboratory compaction device for stone mastic asphalt (SMA). The laboratory compaction of the SMA mix is crucial as the volumetric properties are selected based on the results from laboratory…

This study investigated the potential introduction of the French high modulus hot mix asphalt technology, called enrobés à module élevé (EME) to Australia. The EME mix technology provides a high performing asphalt material for use in heavy duty…

This report documents a study designed to predict temperature and load frequency in asphalt pavements and their effect on the modulus of the asphalt material. It is the first report from a three-year Austroads project which aims to improve the…
