Measurement of Loose Aggregate on Sprayed Seals
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the quantity of loose aggregate on the surface of a sprayed seal.
Seal Behaviour
This method describes the procedure for the recovery of sprayed seal samples from the pavement without disturbing the sealing aggregate orientation. The method stipulates how the void content of the sample is determined.
Penetration of Road Based by Bituminous Primers or Primer Binders
This test method sets out the procedure for assessing the degree of absorption of a primer or primerbinder by a given road gravel in bituminous surfacing work.
Pedestrian-Cyclist Conflict Minimisation on Shared Paths and Footpaths
The interaction between pedestrians and cyclists is increasingly causing safety concerns, exacerbated by the use of wheeled recreational devices, including wheelchairs, powered scooters and gophers. Some of these concerns are real and others are…
Maintenance Techniques to Reduce Social and Environmental Impacts
Selection of maintenance techniques is always a balance between the administering authority costs and social and environmental costs and outcomes. This project provides practical information and a methodology (including a worked example) for…
Skin Patching
This Pavement Work Tip provides a guide to the sprayed seal technique commonly referred to as skin patching which is used for minor repairs of road pavements.
Asphalt Cooling Rates
This Pavement Work Tip is a practical guide to the rate of cooling of asphalt as an aid to effective compaction while the asphalt remains in a workable state.
Understanding Network Performance Information Provided to Road Users
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 use and application of microsimulation traffic models
Microsimulation traffic models (MSTMs) have in recent years become accepted as useful tools amongst road and transport authorities to analyse and identify solutions for traffic and transport planning. The synergy between information technologies and…
Pavement Design for Light Traffic: A Supplement to Austroads Pavement Design Guide
This Supplement is intended to assist those required to plan and design new pavements for lightly trafficked situations. It caters for design traffic up to 105 ESA for flexible pavements and 106 Heavy Vehicle Axle Groups for rigid pavements. It is a…
