This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement rutting measurement using a laser profilometer.

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the roughness of road pavements, determined from the direct measurement of the longitudinal profile of the road surface using an inertial profilometer.

The ARRB TR Walking Profiler is pushed over the pavement surface by an operator at a slow walking pace. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the Walking Profiler Instruction Manual published by ARRB Transport Research and/or has a copy…

A new rut resistance approach based on the wheel-tracking test for unbound granular materials has been developed. The objective of the Austroads project TT1819 is to validate the wheel-tracker laboratory approach against large-scale Accelerated…

This report describes the planning and construction of Australian field trials which will measure of the relative performance of polymer modified binders (PMBs) used in strain alleviating membranes in sprayed bituminous sealing. Issues addressed in…

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…

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…

Part 10: Subsurface Drainage provides advice on the general requirements for drainage materials, design of pavement drains and construction and maintenance considerations. This Part contains information on the types and uses of subsurface drainage…

This report details the construction of two test pavements which were used for an assessment of fatigue performance of cemented materials under full scale, rolling wheel, accelerated pavement testing (APT). The test pavement consisted of a sand…

This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement deflection testing using a Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD).
