Investigation of the Load Damage Exponent of Unbound Granular Materials Under Accelerated Loading
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…
Revision of Guide to Traffic Engineering Practice Part 8: Traffic Control Devices

Austroads works towards uniformity of practice in respect of design, construction and user aspects of roads and bridges and with this purpose in view, publishes guides and procedures.

Traffic Engineering Practice, first published in 1965, is a…

Evaluation of Speed Limiting Locally Operating Warning Signs
This study investigated the efficacy of Speed Limiting Locally Operating Warning Signs (SLLOWS) at a number of sites in the Perth metropolitan area. It was found that SLLOWS were successful in reducing vehicle speed at all locations (3-4 km/h on…
Improved Distress Viscosity Model for Reseal Intervention
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…
Development of an Aggregate Size Term for a Reseal Intervention Model
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).…
