This report provides the results of testing of three potentially reactive aggregates by the accelerated mortar bar test (AMBT) and the concrete prism test (CPT).
The tests were conducted using reference mixes, which contained plain Portland cement as…
This report reviews published information on the formulation, manufacture and properties of geopolymer binders and concretes, to inform the manufacture of geopolymer concrete components for structural and non-structural bridge components and other…
This report details a literature review on durability issues that affect the service life of reinforced concrete structures.
The review focused on information from sources within Australia and overseas, including published literature, standards,…
Consideration is being given to the use of new methods of characterisation to improve performance prediction in the Austroads pavement design procedures, including flexural strength, breaking strain and flexural modulus.
This study evaluated cemented…
Despite the fact that the occurrence of large earthquakes in Australia is rare, the consequences can be fatal and costly. The performance of bridges during and after earthquake events is critical in ensuring that road networks remain operational and…
Following the Austroads research reports prepared as part of TT1359: Cost-effective Structural Treatments for Rural Highways in June 2010 and TT1358 Strategic Review of Pavement Design, Austroads commissioned ARRB Group to undertake further research…
