The Austroads mechanistic-empirical design system documented in Part 2 of the Guide to Pavement Technology uses a laboratory fatigue relationship previously developed by Shell to predict the fatigue life of asphalt layers. The Shell fatigue…

This report documents the findings of the first stage of an Austroads project which aims to benchmark the laboratory fatigue performance of locally manufactured asphalt mixes against the performance predicted by the Shell relationship in Austroads…

Austroads has completed its project APT6305 Use of Road-grade Recycled Plastics for Sustainable Asphalt Pavements which was investigating road-grade recycled plastics that can be used to construct and maintain asphalt roads. The project results are…

This report is Part B of the third report for the APT6305 project. The first report examined road-grade recycled plastics in asphalt pavements and investigated the most suitable types of recycled plastics for incorporation into the asphalt. The…

This webinar, presented by Dr Negin Zhalehjoo, Andrew Papacostas and Dr Didier Bodin, focuses on the outcomes of an Austroads research project &ldquo

This webinar, presented by Dr James Grenfell and Dr Didier Bodin, focuses on the development of a specification on the supply of recycled crushed glass sand as part of a project to support increased use of recycled crushed glass (RCG) in road…

This report documents a project to develop a new laboratory fatigue relationship to predict the performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. The project focused on extensive laboratory experiments including indirect tensile testing and…

The purpose of this guideline is to provide potential recyclers with the information they need to gain a better understanding of how recycled crushed glass (RCG) should be processed to make it fit-for-purpose for infrastructure applications. This…

This report presents the technical basis for the development of the Austroads technical specification and guideline for the use of recycled glass in bedding, backfilling material, concrete, road drainage, embankment fill, and landscaping…

Austroads Technical Specification ATS 3120 sets out the requirements for the supply of aggregates used for sprayed bituminous surfacing work. The technical specification can also be downloaded as a Word document.
