Inspections of Sprayed Seal Trials

This report details the findings from visual inspections conducted on two Austroads sprayed seal field trials: a non-modified binders trial near Gisborne,

Initial Field Trials with Surface Wear Rig

A mobile pavement surface wear rig has been constructed, which aims to gain an improved understanding of the failure mechanisms that are particular to the pavement surfacing layer – as distinct from the structural layers – that may be caused by…

Good Practice in Reseal Programming

This report provides asset managers with practical guidance in the development and delivery of effective resealing programs. It builds on accumulated experience of previous studies and a review of sprayed seal performance throughout Australasia.

Effects of Hot Storage on Polymer Modified Binder Properties and Field Performance
