Austroads LTPP/LTPPM Study - Final Summary Report 2017-18
The report provides a summary of works undertaken during the period 2017&ndash
Long-term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Project: Future Directions
This report presents the proposed future directions for long-term pavement performance (LTPP) studies in Australasia. The proposed way forward is based on the results of a 2017 survey directed to the LTPP Project Steering Group (PSG) and Assets Task…
Effectiveness of Maintenance Activities on Pavement Conditions
The aim of this project was to clarify the effectiveness of pavement maintenance (preservation) activities, in the form of periodic maintenance and rehabilitation, on pavement condition and distress (roughness, rutting and cracking) deterioration…
Austroads LTPP/LTPPM Study - Summary Report 2016–17

The report provides a summary of works undertaken during the period 2016–17 for the Austroads project AT1064 – Long-term pavement performance (LTPP).

Austroads has funded the long-term pavement performance study since late 1994. The project monitors…

National Performance-based Asphalt Specification Framework

Part 4B of the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology provides a recommended approach to the design and characterisation of asphalt mixes in Australia and New Zealand. However, the approach to asphalt mix design and performance characterisation…

High Modulus High Fatigue Resistance Asphalt (EME2) Technology Transfer

This report details the first year of a three-year Austroads project to transfer French Enrobés à Module Élevé Class 2 (EME2) technology to Australia. EME2 technology offers the prospect of reduced asphalt thicknesses for heavy duty pavements, and…

Design and Performance of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Pavements: Progress Report 2

There is a need to improve the Austroads procedures for the mix and structural designs of foamed bitumen stabilised materials.

This progress report summarises the mix design test methods drafted to date and those planned for 2014-15 within the…

Double/Double Primerseal Inspections

This report describes inspections conducted on double/double primerseals constructed in Victoria.

It is not typical practice to use two-layer primerseals, or polymer modification in primerseals, and methods to do so are not described by Austroads…

Inspections of Sprayed Seal Trials

This report details the findings from visual inspections conducted on two Austroads sprayed seal field trials: a non-modified binders trial near Gisborne,

Initial Field Trials with Surface Wear Rig

A mobile pavement surface wear rig has been constructed, which aims to gain an improved understanding of the failure mechanisms that are particular to the pavement surfacing layer – as distinct from the structural layers – that may be caused by…
