This in-depth crash investigation study was conducted to provide information about the causes and costs of a sample of serious (hospitalised) injury crashes in NSW.

The management of Australia and New Zealand’s bridge stock involves the development of forward works programs for periods up to, and longer than, ten years into the future. The scheduling of maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement, forms part of…

This report documents the research undertaken to develop a standardised tool to help practitioners select the most appropriate pedestrian crossing facility for a particular site.

This report provides a broad indication of the methodology, project components, expertise available and indicative costs required to produce a robust national willingness to pay (WTP) estimate of the social cost of Australian road crashes.

The life-cycle performance of concrete bridges exposed to corrosion is investigated based on a set of time-variant probabilistic performance indicators including structural reliability, redundancy, robustness and resilience. The performance…

Infrastructure transportation systems play an important role in the sustained economic growth and social development of most countries. Bridges are key components in such systems. During their service life, bridges are subjected to progressive and/…

The south-west of Melbourne has experienced huge residential development, and a corresponding increase in rail patronage. The Regional Rail Project effected the separation of Regional and Metropolitan lines between Southern Cross Station, and…

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures in a marine environment deteriorate with time due to chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing bars. Corrosion is initiated by chloride contamination if the structures have poor quality concrete and/or inadequate…

Economic analysis can inform investment decisions around proposed bridge projects. This paper outlines the evaluative techniques and methodologies used in appraising a proposed bridge replacement and approach realignment project located in rural…

This paper discusses an agent-based framework for improved bridge asset management. The framework comprises a geospatial representation of a network, a bridge performance deterioration model, and behavioural models of key stakeholders.Effective…
