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…
This report examines the selection of an appropriate laboratory compaction device for stone mastic asphalt (SMA). The laboratory compaction of the SMA mix is crucial as the volumetric properties are selected based on the results from laboratory…
This study investigated the potential introduction of the French high modulus hot mix asphalt technology, called enrobés à module élevé (EME) to Australia. The EME mix technology provides a high performing asphalt material for use in heavy duty…
This report documents a study designed to predict temperature and load frequency in asphalt pavements and their effect on the modulus of the asphalt material. It is the first report from a three-year Austroads project which aims to improve the…
This report is the first progress report of a four year project which aims to improve the Austroads procedures for the mix and structural design of foamed bitumen stabilised materials.
The report summarises the test methods drafted to date and…
This report presents the findings from the first year of a three year Austroads study which aims to maximise the re-use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new asphalt product. The objective of this first year of study is to improve the…
