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…

Road authorities, practitioners and other stakeholders have identified minor editorial issues within the Austroads Guide to Road Design (GRD) Parts 4, 4A, 4B and 4C that result in possible ambiguity or inconsistency within the Guides to Road Design…

This Pavement Work Tip provides guidance on the characteristics of bituminous surfacing treatments, including user performance requirements.

This Pavement Work Tip details the production and paving of EME2, a high modulus asphalt produced with a very hard paving grade bitumen and a high binder content.

Austroads has published two technical reports drawing together the research underpinning changes made to key components of the Guide to Pavement Technology. The reports detail the technical basis for changes made to 

This Pavement Work Tip provides a guide to the light application of bituminous binder to an existing asphalt or spray seal surface to increase the binder level on the surface and prevent aggregate loss.

This report documents the technical basis of the 2010, 2012 and 2017 editions of Austroads&rsquo

Austroads has recently completed a project to consolidate the previous Guide to Road Design Part 1: Introduction to Road Design, Part 2: Design Considerations and Part 8: Process and Documentation into a new Part 1: Objectives of Road Design. This…

Guide to Road Design Part 7: New and Emerging Treatments contains design-related knowledge, findings from research and practical experiences about new and emerging treatments.

Raised Safety Platforms (RSPs) are a vertical deflection device increasingly used to reduce the maximum comfortable operating speed for vehicles to Safe System collision speeds, particularly at intersections. While the use of vertical deflection…
