The report provides a summary of works undertaken during the period 2017&ndash

Part 12 of the Guide to Asset Management is directed at practitioners involved in all aspects of pavement management. It provides the most up-to-date information, using consistent and efficient processes, for the management, storage, analysis and…

The technical supplements presented in Part 15 of the Guide to Asset Management cover the knowledge and condition assessment of pavements, structures and other assets.

This report presents the proposed future directions for long-term pavement performance (LTPP) studies in Australasia. The proposed way forward is based on the results of a 2017 survey directed to the LTPP Project Steering Group (PSG) and Assets Task…

The aim of this project was to clarify the effectiveness of pavement maintenance (preservation) activities, in the form of periodic maintenance and rehabilitation, on pavement condition and distress (roughness, rutting and cracking) deterioration…

The report provides a summary of works undertaken during the period 2016–17 for the Austroads project AT1064 – Long-term pavement performance (LTPP).

Austroads has funded the long-term pavement performance study since late 1994. The project monitors…

This report has developed a new index, the Heavy Vehicle Roughness Band Index (HVRBI), as a measure of ride quality for heavy vehicles. The HVRBI is intended for use by road asset managers as a trigger to initiate pavement intervention works…

This study obtained an indication of the proportion of Australian commercially manufactured polymer modified binders (PMBs) liable to segregate, identifed suitable tests to measure segregation propensity and proposes measures to help prevent or…

This report is an investigation on the development of the performance relationships used in the 2002 AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). The primary objective of this investigation was to see if these relationships could be…

This report explores the dynamic forces that heavy vehicles apply to road pavements and the effects that these forces have on pavement performance. The research focussed on identification of accurate and cost effective means to quantify dynamic…
