This report documents a review of recent Austroads research reports for potential impact on the Guide to Road Design. Thirty reports were reviewed, and the Road Design Task Force determined the application of recommendations and their inclusion in…

Part 13 of the Guide to Asset Management provides guidance on: (a) the establishment and maintenance of structures asset inventories and, (b) the monitoring of asset structure performance. It discusses the need for road agencies to measure asset…

The life-cycle performance of concrete bridges exposed to corrosion is investigated based on a set of time-variant probabilistic performance indicators including structural reliability, redundancy, robustness and resilience. The performance…

Infrastructure transportation systems play an important role in the sustained economic growth and social development of most countries. Bridges are key components in such systems. During their service life, bridges are subjected to progressive and/…

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures in a marine environment deteriorate with time due to chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing bars. Corrosion is initiated by chloride contamination if the structures have poor quality concrete and/or inadequate…

A key element of optimised asset management involves determining the type and timing of maintenance and renewals actions to achieve the least whole-of-life cost. This can often be a very complex process in reality because of the many different…
