Guidelines and Specification for Microsurfacing provides guidelines for the use of microsurfacing treatments in Australia. Microsurfacing is presently the only type of bituminous slurry surfacing applied in Australia. The document was produced by…

An existing model predicted binder life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters, binder durability (resistance to hardening) and seal…

An existing model predicted maximum seal life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters and binder durability (resistance to hardening).…

This report documents work undertaken in relation to the Austroads Business Systems Project BS.A.N.523 Salinity and Rising Water-Tables - Risks for Network Asset management. The purpose of the project was to identify the potential impact of dryland…

The report summarises the activity in the Austroads sprayed seal design project for 2003/2004. Austroads member authorities were surveyed to determine if there were further issues with sprayed seal design that needed resolution. Recommendations for…

Stormwater runoff from roads has the potential to impact aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through changes to water quality, water quantity and water flowpath. It is important to manage stormwater to reduce such pressures on sensitive receiving…

This manual explores the impact of road runoff and drainage on aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. Road Runoff and Drainage aims to assist road infrastructure planners, designers, environmental officers and project managers in achieving…
