Maintenance Techniques to Reduce Social and Environmental Impacts
Selection of maintenance techniques is always a balance between the administering authority costs and social and environmental costs and outcomes. This project provides practical information and a methodology (including a worked example) for…
Consistency in Approaches to Road Network Segmentation and Data Aggregation: Review of Current Practice
A general literature survey and a user survey was conducted to obtain information on existing data aggregation methods and their status in Australia and New Zealand. The responses to the survey indicated that all agencies use or are close to…
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).…
Refinement of Road Deterioration Models in Australasia
This report documents research undertaken to develop a methodology for refining existing road deterioration models for Australasian sealed granular pavements. A review of performance data obtained from accelerated load testing of sealed granular…
