Optimising Project Delivery Performance (Accelerated Projects)
This report provides practical advice and examples of ways to successfully accelerate transport infrastructure projects and programs up to $500 million. An accelerated project or program has delivery expedited, typically in response to external…
Code of Practice for the Management of Alkali Aggregate Reactivity Template
The Code of Practice for the Management of Alkali Aggregate Reactivity template has been developed for the use of Austroads member agencies. The document outlines the management strategies, testing and approval process required to regulate alkali…
General Conditions of Contract for Construction - National Capital Works 4 (NCW4)
General Conditions of Contract for Construction - National Capital Works 4 (NCW4) has been developed for use in “construct only” contracts where the principal is a government or semi-government agency.
Webinar: General Conditions of Contract for Construction - National Capital Works 4 (NCW4)
This webinar, presented on 25 July 2019, provides an overview of the new General Conditions of Contract for Construction - National Capital Works 4 (NCW4), released by Austroads and the Australian Procurement and Construction Council (APCC).
Improved Laboratory Characterisation of the Deformation Properties of Granular Materials

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…

Effect of Moisture Content and Laboratory Preparation Conditions on the Permanent Deformation of Unbound Granular Materials

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…

Characterisation and Performance Evaluation of Granular Bases Project: Pavement Construction Report

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…

Building and Construction Procurement Guide: Principles and Options
Austroads and the Australasian Procurement and Construction Council's (APCC) 
Development of the Building and Construction Procurement Guide

This report presents the outcomes of the harmonisation work undertaken by Austroads and the Australasian Procurement and Construction Council to develop AP-G92-14 Building and Construction Procurement Guide – Principles and Optionswhich, if adopted…

Analytical Study of Performance Models for Unbound Granular Pavements

This report presents an analytical and parametric study to assess the relevance of rutting performance models for unbound granular pavements.

The rutting performance relationship used in the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 2 – Pavement…
