This webinar, presented on 17 July 2018, outlines ways to optimise the use of marginal and non-standard materials and gain best value from the successful performance of standard materials. It covers: applying a proposed assessment process to a wider…

This report considers the use of marginal and non-standard materials in road construction and maintenance. It concludes that considerable evidence exists, both nationally and internationally, that supports the wider use of marginal and non-standard…

This report details the experimental program, analysis and findings of the assessment of the impacts of axle mass increases on road deterioration for sprayed seal surfaced unbound granular pavements. Load-damage exponents ranged between two and four…

The state of the art in using GIS to integrate crash data with other information sources, and resources and capabilities available for this purpose in Australia and New Zealand, were established through a literature review and a series of…

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).…
