This paper proposes a risk and criticality strategy that can be used in the development of bridge specific data collection and monitoring strategies. New Zealand has on average one bridge every 5.2km. The functionality of the road network is…

This report presents and reviews common linear and spatial location referencing systems used by road authorities and discusses the various benefits and limitations of each. Road authorities have traditionally used linear location referencing to…

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the Pavement Maintenance database creation, including documenting the cleaning and filtering of the results. The analysis was performed on SA, VIC, NSW and QLD datasets to identify…

This report presents a review of the available structural design methods for foamed bitumen pavements, as a first step in the development of thickness design procedures. Six design procedures were found in the literature, most of them based on well…

This report presents the test results of bitumens used across different states in Australia. This database will be useful in identifying possible trends in properties associated with recent changes in the manufacture of Australian bitumens and…

This report is the second in a series which examines the properties of Australian bitumens from around Australia. Thirty-one bitumens from around Australia were subjected to a range of test procedures. These included viscosity measurement at a range…

A significant factor contributing to the establishment of Australia’s large network of surfaced roads has been the successful application of sprayed sealing technology, including the selection of treatments, design of the treatments and application…

Austroads Project No: TT1358: Review of Structural Design Procedures for Foamed Bitumen Pavements proposed a method for the thickness design of foamed bitumen to be adopted in principle by Austroads. Foamed bitumen is a mixture of hot bitumen, water…
