Validation of Superpave™ Method of Asphalt Compaction for Australasia
This report details the testing of 21 Austroads jurisdictions mixes and one airport mix to develop a relationship between the Austroads Gyropac Gyratory compactor, which is now redundant, and the Servopac (setup to AS/NZS) and Superpave Gyratory…
National Harmonisation of Test Methods Used in Asphalt Performance Specifications
This report documents the delivery of the first component of a new Austroads performance-related asphalt specification framework. This included the development of several new test methods and updating a number of existing test methods for use in…
Asphalt Laboratory Fatigue Relationship: Stage 1 Utilisation of Existing Data
This report documents the findings of the first stage of an Austroads project which aims to benchmark the laboratory fatigue performance of locally manufactured asphalt mixes against the performance predicted by the Shell relationship in Austroads…
Austroads Road Deterioration Model Update: Cracking
This report documents a project designed to update the current Austroads road deterioration (RD) models using the long-term pavement performance and long-term pavement performance maintenance (LTPP/LTPPM) dataset and other data available, such as…
Austroads Road Deterioration Model Update: Roughness
This report documents a project designed to update the current Austroads road deterioration (RD) models using the long-term pavement performance and long-term pavement performance maintenance (LTPP/LTPPM) dataset and other data available, such as…
Austroads Road Deterioration Model Update: Rutting
This report documents a project designed to update the current Austroads road deterioration (RD) models using the long-term pavement performance and long-term pavement performance maintenance (LTPP/LTPPM) dataset and other data available, such as…
Austroads Road Deterioration Model Update: Deflection
This report documents a project designed to update the current Austroads road deterioration (RD) models using the long-term pavement performance and long-term pavement performance maintenance (LTPP/LTPPM) dataset and other data available, such as…
Development of the Austroads Rejuvenator Evaluation Protocol
This report describes research into the development of a draft Austroads evaluation protocol for rejuvenators. Rejuvenators are typically used to produce asphalt mixes containing high levels of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The report includes a…
Technical Basis of Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4E: Recycled Materials
The purpose of this literature review is to assess the current body of research for the incorporation of recycled material in pavements to inform updated guidance to the current Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4E: Recycled Materials. New…
Fatigue Performance of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Pavements Under Full-scale Accelerated Loading
This report presents the findings of a project that evaluates the fatigue performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) pavements under accelerated loading. Using accelerated pavement testing, the project evaluated three FBS host materials (100%…
