Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design provides advice for the investigation of existing sealed road pavements and the selection and design of pavement strategies/treatments. It covers pavement investigation,…

New methods of using pavement deflection data were developed in the context of pavement structural rehabilitation treatment design. The project focused on two main components. The first was to assess the potential use of traffic speed deflectometer…

This webinar, presented on 22 August 2019, provides an overview of the key changes to the Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design and the significant advances in the thickness design of structural treatments for…

This webinar, presented on 7 March 2019, provides an overview of Austroads' long-term pavement performance study.

This Pavement Work Tip details the profiling or cold planning of asphalt pavements, a process that removes uneven areas of pavement to allow the placement of  new, uniform surface.

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…

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).…
