Polymer Modified Binder Sprayed Seal Trials
Two significant road trials have been initiated to better understand the performance defining properties of Polymer Modified Binders when used in sprayed sealing applications over cracked pavements. Treatments varied from manually applied crack…
Assessment Techniques and Tools for Rural Accessibility
Current approaches to national road network planning generally focus on links and corridors in themselves and do not allow the assessment of each link as a component of the network as a whole. This document describes a study to demonstrate the…
