Assessment of Rut-resistance of Granular Bases using the Repeated Load Triaxial Test
Over the last decade a considerable amount of research effort has been focussed on the development of a repeated load triaxial (RLT) test procedure to assist practitioners in the use of natural and marginal unbound base/subbase materials in road…
Asphalt and Seal Life Prediction Models based on Bitumen Hardening
This report documents the surface life prediction models that have evolved from the long term sampling of the bitumen in sprayed seals and thin asphalt surfaces. The estimation of surface life is predicated on the basis of the mechanism of bitumen…
Future Asset Management Issues No. 2: Impacts of Peak Oil with Increases in Bitumen and Fuel Costs on Road Use and Asset Management Funding
This discussion paper examines the consequences of 'peak oil' for road asset management and identified several key issues as the potential subject of future research to assist asset managers in managing the consequences of 'peak oil'. This paper is…
