Optimum Use of Granular Bases: Material Selection for Detailed Performance Evaluation
The objective of this report is to provide data relating the laboratory repeated load triaxial test (RLT) results to field performance and to develop procedures for incorporation of RLT test results into performance-based specifications and…
Development of Performance-Based Specifications for Unbound Granular Materials: Part A: Issues and Recommendations
The Austroads Member Authorities (AMAs) are developing a Performance Based Specification (PBS) approach to the specification of unbound granular materials in Australia and New Zealand. There has been general agreement to adopt the engineering…
Development of Performance-based Specifications for Unbound Granular Materials Part B: Use of RLT Test to Predict Performance
The Austroads Member Authorities (AMAs) are developing a Performance Based Specification (PBS) approach to the specification of unbound granular materials in Australia and New Zealand. There has been general agreement to adopt the engineering…
Pavement Strength in Network Analysis of Sealed Granular Roads: Basis for Austroads Guidelines
This technical report resulted from a study to develop Austroads guidelines on network level assessment and analysis of data on pavement structural condition. This report outlines the benefits of network level assessment of the structural condition,…
Dust Laying with Bitumen Emulsions
This Pavement Work Tip describes the use of bitumen emulsion for dust laying on unsealed granular pavements to reduce dust nuisance, maintenance costs and loss of pavement material.
Drink-Driving Enforcement: Issues in Developing Best Practice
Drink-driving enforcement is a key component of road safety programs in all jurisdictions in Australasia, with comprehensive enforcement programs that seek both to apprehend offenders and to deter potential offenders. This project was established to…
