The purpose of this literature review is to assess the current body of research for the incorporation of recycled material in pavements to inform updated guidance to the current Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4E: Recycled Materials. New…

This report presents the findings of a project that evaluates the fatigue performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) pavements under accelerated loading. Using accelerated pavement testing, the project evaluated three FBS host materials (100%…

This report presents the technical basis for the development of the Austroads technical specification and guideline for the use of recycled glass in bedding, backfilling material, concrete, road drainage, embankment fill, and landscaping…

This report documents the technical basis of the 2011 and 2019 editions of Austroads&rsquo

This report presents the results of a research project commissioned by Austroads to investigate whether the currently used Australian general-purpose (GP) cement which complies with AS 3972, and which may contain up to 7.5% limestone as a mineral…

There is a need to improve the Austroads procedures for mix design and structural design of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. This final report summarises the mix design test methods developed within the context of an Austroads mix design…

This report details the experimental phase of an Austroads project to review the specifications and use of geopolymer concrete. The findings indicate that acceptable grades of structural geopolymer concrete can be made for field applications.

This…

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…

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…

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…
