Improved Design Procedures for Asphalt Pavements: Outcomes for Year 2 of 3

The report covers a variety of topics related to improving the design procedures for asphalt pavements in Australia. Literature reviews of perpetual pavement design concepts and the relationship between flexural and compressive modulus were…

Maximising the Re-use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement - Outcomes of Year Two: RAP Mix Design

This report presents the findings from the second year of a three-year Austroads study which aims to maximise the re-use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new asphalt mixes.

A survey was conducted in Australia to identify the important issues…

Review of Overseas Trials of Warm Mix Asphalt Pavements and Current Usage by Austroads Members

This report presents a review of field trials of WMA technologies conducted in various countries in the world, with the emphasis on performance differences between WMA and conventional HMA and the identification of field performance data that could…

Field Validation of Warm Mix Asphalt Pavements

This report describes the planning and conduct of a validation trial of three warm mix asphalt surfacings (chemical additive, polymer additive, foaming) and a hotmix asphalt ‘control’ surfacing at a site in Melbourne, Australia. Issues addressed…

Carbon and Asphalt: A Review of Environmental Factors Including Emission Calculators
This report provides input to the Austroads project Performance of Warm Mix Asphalt Pavements. It involves a literature review of existing CO2-e emission calculators applicable to road construction (using asphalt products) with a view to…
