This report presents the summary of project activities conducted in 2006/07. A number of suitable sealed granular pavement sites were identified across Australia for inclusion in the LTPP study. An improved revised method was used to calibrate HDM-4…

Austroads sponsored a technical research project Managing the Impacts of Rising Watertables and Salinity on Pavement Performance . The overall desirable deliverables were tools to assist road authorities to identify those sections of road that are…

This report documents the assessment of RSL of pavements where the RSL is confined in its estimation to the occurrence of the next major intervention either by rehabilitation or replacement. There are many measurable surface distress conditions,…

Improved RD models for sealed granular and asphalt pavements are needed. Pavement performance history data from state road authorities and New Zealand (SRAs) were used for calibrating RD models. The calibration and refinement of RD models is…

The starting point for this review was the recently-published Austroads Guidelines for the Management of Road Surface Skid Resistance. Skid resistance, which depends on both microtexture and macrotexture, is currently the road surface characteristic…

This report compares the deterioration of two pavement groups in the US-LTPP program (GPS1 and GPS2) with that of the Australian LTPP GPS1 and GPS2 pavement groups. For the non-freezing group of the GPS1 pavements, the US sections had similar…
