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 Pavement Work Tip considers traffic distribution and its effect on the suitable location of joints and where the design Binder Application Rates should be varied to allow for the expected traffic volume.

Guide to Pavement Technology Part 3 addresses the selection of the most appropriate pavement surfacing. The Guide identifies the significant factors that need to be considered in the selection of the most appropriate surfacing, their inter-…

Flexible granular pavements protected by sprayed seal surfacings are the backbone of the Australian and New Zealand road networks. Road agencies in Australia and New Zealand have therefore been focused on producing quality, long-lasting sprayed seal…

This report presents the findings of site inspections and binder ageing performance studies associated with two Austroads sprayed seal trial sites constructed near Coober Pedy, South Australia and Cooma, New South Wales. These trials were…

This user guide provides guidance to road managers, planners and designers on achieving improved safety outcomes by applying consistent standards along a road corridor. Thirteen road stereotype tables were identified covering the road network from…

This report summarises activities undertaken to produce guidance on road cross-section design for road stereotypes during stage 1 and 2 of this project. The guidance enables road managers, planners and designers to achieve improved safety outcomes…

This method sets out the procedure for determining the degree of stripping of a single coat sprayed seal with a nominal aggregate size of 10 mm or larger.

This study investigated the relationship between cutter oil properties and sprayed seal performance so that this information could be used as a basis for updating Australian Standard 3568. AS 3568 specifies the properties of four different types of…
