Part 6 of the Guide to Pavement Technology addresses unsealed pavements including operational demands of unsealed road surfaces, pavement configurations, floodways, cuts, fills and mine haul roads, the identification of suitable pavement materials…

Part 10: Subsurface Drainage provides advice on the general requirements for drainage materials, design of pavement drains and construction and maintenance considerations. This Part contains information on the types and uses of subsurface drainage…

Guide to Pavement Technology Part 7: Pavement Maintenance provides broad guidance on current routine maintenance practices for sealed pavements suitable for use by both supervisory and field staff. 

This report details the experimental program, analysis and findings of the assessment of the impacts of axle mass increases on road deterioration for sprayed seal surfaced unbound granular pavements. Load-damage exponents ranged between two and four…

An existing model predicted binder life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters, binder durability (resistance to hardening) and seal…

An existing model predicted maximum seal life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters and binder durability (resistance to hardening).…
