Sustainability in Road Tunnels: Updating the Guide to Road Tunnels
This report documents a project undertaken to investigate the issues associated with managing the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of road tunnels in a sustainable manner. The results of the investigation informed an update to all…
Truck Side / Longitudinal Friction Literature Review and Data Analysis
Practitioners have raised concerns when designing for heavy vehicles with respect to the combination of design values for side and longitudinal friction demand as well as design criteria for horizontal curves with adverse superelevation. This report…
Technical Basis of Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design
This report documents the technical basis of the 2011 and 2019 editions of Austroads&rsquo
Sustainable Roads Through Fit‑for‑purpose Use of Available Materials: Evaluation Tool and User Guide
This guidance document aims to encourage fit‑for‑purpose use of available materials for sealed and unsealed road construction and maintenance, including renewal of low to medium level traffic roads. A fit‑for‑purpose material has properties and…
Sustainable Roads Through Fit-for-purpose Use of Available Materials: Technical Basis
This report documents the findings of an Austroads project which aims to encourage sustainable roads through fit-for-purpose use of available materials. The research addressed the use of marginal and non-standard materials in both sealed and…
Improved Methods of Using Pavement Deflection Data in the Design of Rehabilitation Treatments
New methods of using pavement deflection data were developed in the context of pavement structural rehabilitation treatment design. The project focused on two main components. The first was to assess the potential use of traffic speed deflectometer…
