Permeability of Sprayed Seals: Literature Review

This report describes a literature review on the permeability of sprayed seal surfacings. This review work was conducted to explore the permeability limits of sprayed seal surfacings, and to determine the influencing factors which allow seals to…

Selection and Design of Initial Treatments for Sprayed Seal Surfacings

This document is an update of the design of initial treatments for sprayed seal surfacing.

The information contained within this document supersedes that found in Austroads AP-T68-06 Update of the Austroads Sprayed Seal Design Method, and replaces…

Effect of Heavy Vehicle Traffic in Sprayed Seal Design

The principal aim of this work was to examine the effect of heavy vehicle loading on sprayed seals, in order to incorporate such loading impacts into the Austroads sprayed seal design method.

The current sprayed seal design method uses an equivalent…

Options to Extend Coverage of Alcohol Interlock Programs
Despite high levels of community education and sustained enforcement, alcohol-related crashes and drink-driving offences continue to pose a threat to road safety.
Seal Design Improvement for Low Volume Roads

The current version of the Austroads sprayed seal design method was published in 2006 and has been in use for the last nine years. During recent times, a number of sprayed sealing practitioners have indicated that the basic voids factor for single/…

Towards Incorporating Heavy Vehicles into Sprayed Seal Design: Stage 2

Traffic loadings on Australia’s extensive sprayed seal network have increased, particularly with freight efficiency resulting in longer and heavier loads being transported by prime movers.

This report details the development of a model to describe…

Options for Rehabilitation in Interlock Programs
This report examines the effectiveness of national and international programs that treat and rehabilitate drivers with alcohol dependence and the criteria used to approve the removal of interlocks.
Sprayed Sealing - Initial Treatment of Stabilised Pavements
This Pavement Work Tip provides a guide to the use of priming and primersealing as initial treatments on stabilised pavements.
Double/Double Primerseal Inspections

This report describes inspections conducted on double/double primerseals constructed in Victoria.

It is not typical practice to use two-layer primerseals, or polymer modification in primerseals, and methods to do so are not described by Austroads…

Inspections of Sprayed Seal Trials

This report details the findings from visual inspections conducted on two Austroads sprayed seal field trials: a non-modified binders trial near Gisborne,
