This Pavement Work Tip outlines the procedure to allow for surface texture variations by pre-spraying of additional binder.

This Pavement Work Tip provides instructions on how to minimise sprayed sealing handwork and gives some suggestions for maximising the use of a sprayer when sealing tapers and roundabouts.

This Pavement Work Tip describes the requirements for the selection of an appropriate design aggregate spread rate and the calibration of aggregate spreading equipment for uniformity and consistency of output.

This Pavement Work Tip refers to minimising the risk of bleeding when carrying out sprayed sealing work during extreme hot weather events, especially when subject to slow moving or stationary heavy traffic, or unusually heavy loads.

This webinar is beneficial to consultants who may be interested in tendering for Austroads projects. The session covers new Austroads projects lined up for the 2023-24 financial year, Austroads process around research data collection and what is…

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…

The presence and use of technology in light vehicles has been increasing at a steady rate for several years. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: Driver Education Guide provides a brand and model neutral list of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems…

This Guideline describes common Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) functions and their operational characteristics, including their limitations, and the conditions under which they may be allowed during on-road driver testing. The Guideline…

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…
