Review of Structural Design Procedures for Foamed Bitumen Pavements

This report presents a review of the available structural design methods for foamed bitumen pavements, as a first step in the development of thickness design procedures. Six design procedures were found in the literature, most of them based on well…

Performance-based Specification for Electronic Work Diary and Heavy Vehicle Speed Monitoring
This report presents the performance-based specification for an electronic work diary and heavy vehicle speed monitoring as directed by the Australian Transport Council (ATC) at its November 2008 meeting. The ATC directed the immediate development…
Third National Survey of Australian Bitumens

This report presents the test results of bitumens used across different states in Australia. This database will be useful in identifying possible trends in properties associated with recent changes in the manufacture of Australian bitumens and…

Second National Survey of Australian Bitumens

This report is the second in a series which examines the properties of Australian bitumens from around Australia. Thirty-one bitumens from around Australia were subjected to a range of test procedures. These included viscosity measurement at a range…

Performance Requirements for Bitumen Sprayers

A significant factor contributing to the establishment of Australia’s large network of surfaced roads has been the successful application of sprayed sealing technology, including the selection of treatments, design of the treatments and application…

Review of Foamed Bitumen Stabilisation Mix Design Methods

Austroads Project No: TT1358: Review of Structural Design Procedures for Foamed Bitumen Pavements proposed a method for the thickness design of foamed bitumen to be adopted in principle by Austroads. Foamed bitumen is a mixture of hot bitumen, water…

Impact of Light Commercial Vehicles / Rigid Trucks in Urban Networks: Scoping Study
The purpose of the study is to recommend an ongoing Austroads research programme that is focussed on the impacts of the increasing volume of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and rigid trucks (Rigids) on the urban traffic network in terms of their…
