This report presents the summary of project activities conducted in 2006/07. A number of suitable sealed granular pavement sites were identified across Australia for inclusion in the LTPP study. An improved revised method was used to calibrate HDM-4…

This report presented a summary of three pilot studies completed on bitumen emulsions, foam bitumen sprayed sealing and warm mix asphalt.Increasing awareness of environmental issues and energy conservation have led to identifying alternative binder…

Austroads sponsored a technical research project Managing the Impacts of Rising Watertables and Salinity on Pavement Performance . The overall desirable deliverables were tools to assist road authorities to identify those sections of road that are…

This summary report describes a measurement technology with the capacity to provide estimates of the vehicle pavement interaction through measurements of the horizontal stresses resulting from vehicle movements. A transducer specifically designed to…

The establishment of an asphalt field trial requires considerable planning and usually involves significant resources. The selection of a trial site can significantly affect the likelihood of a clear outcome. The information provided will assist in…

This publication describes the development of the flexible overlay design procedures included in the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design. The origins of two procedures are detailed: a design chart…

This document provides advice for users designing asphalt mixes using the Austroads mix design procedures. The advice given should enable users to produce repeatable and valid results. The tests covered in this document are

This report documents the assessment of RSL of pavements where the RSL is confined in its estimation to the occurrence of the next major intervention either by rehabilitation or replacement. There are many measurable surface distress conditions,…

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…

The starting point for this review was the recently-published Austroads Guidelines for the Management of Road Surface Skid Resistance. Skid resistance, which depends on both microtexture and macrotexture, is currently the road surface characteristic…
