The addition of a small amount of cementitious binder to non-standard granular materials may result in a fit for purpose base or subbase at a significantly lower cost than crushed rock complying with standard specifications. Such lightly bound…

The purpose of this report is to provide clarity around the design and operation of raised safety platforms and deepen understanding of leading international practice across a range of applications and performance dimensions. A review of literature…

There is a need to improve Austroads procedures for the structural design of pavements containing lightly bound cemented (LBC) materials. This report describes the findings of an investigation of the performance of Queensland pavements with LBC…

This Test Method determines the susceptibility of aggregate to an expansive reaction when mixed with cement in a concrete mix. It measures the change in length of concrete prisms containing the aggregate under investigation. This Test Method is not…

This Test Method determines the susceptibility of aggregate to an expansive reaction when mixed with cement in a concrete mix. It measures the change in length of representative mortar bars containing the aggregate under investigation during storage…

This report explores and draws together the ways in which place is classified, measured and valued from a transport perspective. Through a literature review, the study captured the way place was being measured and valued by a range of different…

Guide to Traffic Management Part 13: Safe System Approach to Transport Management is concerned with traffic management practice under the Safe System philosophy. The Guide emphasises the need for the road system to provide an environment which…

Austroads Technical Specification 5340 sets out the requirements for the patch repair of defective concrete using cementitious materials. The process of restoring existing concrete typically includes: breaking back to sound and dense concrete to…

This Austroads Technical Specification ATS 2210 sets out the requirements for the supply and delivery of steel reinforced precast concrete pipes used for stormwater / drainage purposes. It excludes: concrete pipes subject to internal pressure…

This webinar, presented on 15 October 2019, provides an overview of an Austroads project that investigated whether cements with elevated limestone content would perform satisfactorily in ambient-cured and precast concretes subjected to aggressive…
