Join us for a webinar that delves into the latest on connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) and the pivotal role that interaction with physical infrastructure plays in their integration into our transport system. In this session, we will present a…

This Pavement Work Tip provides information on the essential elements of the calibration process for bitumen sprayers.

This Pavement Work Tip details the general principles affecting aggregate size selection and provides recommended aggregate sizes for a range of sealing treatments.

This Pavement Work Tip outlines the procedure to allow for surface texture variations by pre-spraying of additional binder.

This Pavement Work Tip provides instructions on how to minimise sprayed sealing handwork and gives some suggestions for maximising the use of a sprayer when sealing tapers and roundabouts.

This Pavement Work Tip describes the requirements for the selection of an appropriate design aggregate spread rate and the calibration of aggregate spreading equipment for uniformity and consistency of output.

This Pavement Work Tip refers to minimising the risk of bleeding when carrying out sprayed sealing work during extreme hot weather events, especially when subject to slow moving or stationary heavy traffic, or unusually heavy loads.

Decisions on how transport agencies provide for people walking to safely cross the roads has been greatly influenced by historical research, that has in the past failed to examine the infrastructure design and lacked behavioural data. This webinar,…

The Austroads mechanistic-empirical design system documented in Part 2 of the Guide to Pavement Technology uses a laboratory fatigue relationship previously developed by Shell to predict the fatigue life of asphalt layers. The Shell fatigue…

This report documents the findings of the first stage of an Austroads project which aims to benchmark the laboratory fatigue performance of locally manufactured asphalt mixes against the performance predicted by the Shell relationship in Austroads…
