The majority of sprayed seal design methods around the world are based on the work of Hanson, published in 1935. However, there are growing weaknesses in current sprayed seal design models. Traffic loads have increased, particularly in both the…

This study looked into four on-road public transport (ORPT) priority treatments including: full bus lane (FBL), set back bus lane (SBBL), queue jump bus lane (QJBL) and no priority (NP). Microsimulation traffic modelling (MSTM) is a useful tool for…

Recognising the importance to pavement designers, asset managers and policy makers of an improved understanding of the relationship between different multiple axle group loads (single, tandem, triaxles, etc.) and road pavement performance, Austroads…

This study compares and examines the performance of micro-modelling (SIDRA) and microsimulation (AIMSUN, VISSIM and Q-PARAMICS) in modelling of single signalised intersections. The aim is to contribute to the Austroads NS1371 guidelines by improving…

This Pavement Work Tip provides guidelines for the preparation of granular pavements prior to priming or primersealing.

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…

Part 6 of the Guide to Pavement Technology addresses unsealed pavements including operational demands of unsealed road surfaces, pavement configurations, floodways, cuts, fills and mine haul roads, the identification of suitable pavement materials…

This Guide contains advice on the selection, testing and specification of crushed rock and naturally occurring granular materials for use in pavement base and subbase construction.

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…
