Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4A: Granular Base and Subbase Materials
This Guide contains advice on the selection, testing and specification of crushed rock and naturally occurring granular materials for use in pavement base and subbase construction.
Austroads LTPP and LTPPM Study: Summary Report for 2006/07
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…
Review of Innovative Binder Delivery Systems (Pilot Study)
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…
Sprayed Sealing of Drought and Salt Affected Pavements
This Pavement Work Tip is a practical guide to sprayed sealing in areas where a pavement may be affected by drought or salt content in its construction.
