Development of HDM-4 Road Deterioration (RD) Model Calibrations for Sealed Granular and Asphalt Roads

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…

Optimum Use of Granular Bases: Construction of Test Pavements

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…

Optimum Use of Granular Bases: Material Selection for Detailed Performance Evaluation
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…
Development of Performance-Based Specifications for Unbound Granular Materials: Part A: Issues and Recommendations
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…
Development of Performance-based Specifications for Unbound Granular Materials Part B: Use of RLT Test to Predict Performance
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…
