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

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…

Part 4B of the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology provides a recommended approach to the design and characterisation of asphalt mixes in Australia and New Zealand. However, the approach to asphalt mix design and performance characterisation…

This report presents the summary of project activities conducted in 2006/07. A number of suitable sealed granular pavement sites were identified across Australia for inclusion in the LTPP study. An improved revised method was used to calibrate HDM-4…

This report presented a summary of three pilot studies completed on bitumen emulsions, foam bitumen sprayed sealing and warm mix asphalt.Increasing awareness of environmental issues and energy conservation have led to identifying alternative binder…

This Pavement Work Tip is a practical guide to sprayed sealing in areas where a pavement may be affected by drought or salt content in its construction.

This summary report describes a measurement technology with the capacity to provide estimates of the vehicle pavement interaction through measurements of the horizontal stresses resulting from vehicle movements. A transducer specifically designed to…

This report presents an extensive literature review of pavement surface texture measurement methods with a specific interest in how they affect operator safety and delays to traffic. The literature review shows that there are a number of methods in…
