This Guide contains advice on the selection, testing and specification of crushed rock and naturally occurring granular materials for use in pavement base and subbase construction.

Two parts of the Austroads Guide to Project Delivery &ndash

The Guide to Project Delivery consists of five parts. Part 3 is concerned with the procurement and management of road construction contracts. It covers in detail, key processes and procedures relating to documentation and contract administration. It…

This webinar, presented on 20 September 2018, provides an overview of the first edition of Austroads Guide to Project Delivery Part 5: Road Construction Quality Assurance.

Many of the shortcomings experienced in quality assured contracts reflect the way in which road agency requirements have been specified and administered. Emphasis has been placed on third party accredited quality systems, and not on the fundamentals…

This report examines the capacity of the extra-large wheel-tracking laboratory test method to predict the in-service performance of granular materials.

Rutting is a common distress mode of unbound granular bases under thin bituminous surfacings.

Five…

This report reassesses the benefits and impacts of using High Productivity Vehicles (HPVs) and proposes a method to consistently quantify pavement vertical loading of an individual vehicle design.

This study assessed how charging regimes could increase high productivity vehicle (HPV) access, using three case study insights.

This report documents research to validate the wheel-tracking approach as a complementary means of evaluating the rutting performance of granular bases. Firstly, the influence of the moisture content on the laboratory wheel-tracking performances is…

A new rut resistance approach based on the wheel-tracking test for unbound granular materials has been developed. The objective of the Austroads project TT1819 is to validate the wheel-tracker laboratory approach against large-scale Accelerated…
