Guide to Pavement Technology Part 7: Pavement Maintenance provides broad guidance on current routine maintenance practices for sealed pavements suitable for use by both supervisory and field staff. 

The selection of pavement materials is a critical element in the design, construction and maintenance of pavements if performance is to be optimised and whole of life costs minimised. This part of the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology provides…

The project was aimed at providing an understanding of 'remaining service life' as a concept and definitions of key terms such as 'design life', 'service life', 'remaining service life (RSL)', 'designated level of service', and 'threshold distress…

This report comprises a technical review and update on new knowledge about salinity impacts and pavements. A review of recent literature and research outputs has indicated that there are knowledge gaps in the area of how salinity affects pavements…

This report details the experimental program, analysis and findings of the assessment of the impacts of axle mass increases on road deterioration for sprayed seal surfaced unbound granular pavements. Load-damage exponents ranged between two and four…

An existing model predicted binder life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters, binder durability (resistance to hardening) and seal…

An existing model predicted maximum seal life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters and binder durability (resistance to hardening).…

This report provides background, data references and guidelines for planners and traffic engineers in addressing planning issues associated with development projects that will affect freight movements, particularly in urban areas.

This report reviews and compares processes and tools for access management employed in Australia and New Zealand. It highlights both commonalities and wide variations in practice in dealing with proposals for new points of access (driveways and…

The two-volumes of Cities for Tomorrowprovide detailed guidance and resource material to assist practitioners in the integration of planning for land use, transport and the environment.

More than 85 percent of the Australian population resides in its…
