The increase in the demand for transport services which is forecast to continue into the foreseeable future has placed greater focus on infrastructure and non-infrastructure solutions to meet that demand. Further, there is growing recognition of the…

Part 4J of the Guide to Pavement Technology provides information and guidance on: the classification and description of source rocks

This report presents the results of testing conducted on an unbound granular pavement with a thin bituminous surfacing using a variety of tyre types and half-axle loads applied using the Accelerated Loading Facility. It was found that the reference…

Improved RD models for sealed granular and asphalt pavements are needed. Pavement performance history data from state road authorities and New Zealand (SRAs) were used for calibrating RD models. The calibration and refinement of RD models is…

Over the last decade a considerable amount of research effort has been focussed on the development of a repeated load triaxial (RLT) test procedure to assist practitioners in the use of natural and marginal unbound base/subbase materials in road…

The objective of this report is to provide data relating the laboratory repeated load triaxial test (RLT) results to field performance and to develop procedures for incorporation of RLT test results into performance-based specifications and…

The objective of this study was to identify performance information that are understood and would be used by all road users to make informed road transport decisions and that would assist road managers' in decision making in relation to the…

The Austroads Member Authorities (AMAs) are developing a Performance Based Specification (PBS) approach to the specification of unbound granular materials in Australia and New Zealand. There has been general agreement to adopt the engineering…
