High Modulus High Fatigue Resistance Asphalt (EME2) Technology Transfer

This report details the first year of a three-year Austroads project to transfer French Enrobés à Module Élevé Class 2 (EME2) technology to Australia. EME2 technology offers the prospect of reduced asphalt thicknesses for heavy duty pavements, and…

Flood Resilient Bridge Design, Case Studies from Challenging Design Environments
Case studies of bridges located in the Lockyer Valley in Queensland and the Solomon Islands are presented in the paper. Historically these locations have experienced extreme flooding. Flood damage at bridges can isolate communities and result in…
Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4B: Asphalt
The Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4B: Asphalt provides an introduction to the nature of asphalt as a material and its application in road pavements.
Characterisation and Performance Evaluation of Granular Bases Project: Pavement Construction Report

A new rut resistance approach based on the wheel-tracking test for unbound granular materials has been developed. The objective of the Austroads project TT1819 is to validate the wheel-tracker laboratory approach against large-scale Accelerated…

Austroads Asphalt Deformation Trial: Dandenong Road

This report documents an asphalt deformation trial established over a 1200 m length of Dandenong Road in Melbourne. The trial aimed to validate the wheel tracking used in the Austroads mix design method. The trial involved the placement of seven…
