This report documents the delivery of the first component of a new Austroads performance-related asphalt specification framework. This included the development of several new test methods and updating a number of existing test methods for use in…

This report documents the best practice approaches for the use of road tunnel wall panels and finishes, which informed the development of a specification framework. This was developed through a workshop with subject-matter experts, review of current…

This report documents the findings of the first stage of an Austroads project which aims to benchmark the laboratory fatigue performance of locally manufactured asphalt mixes against the performance predicted by the Shell relationship in Austroads…

This report documents a project designed to update the current Austroads road deterioration (RD) models using the long-term pavement performance and long-term pavement performance maintenance (LTPP/LTPPM) dataset and other data available, such as…

This report outlines a detailed and contemporary review of in-tunnel aesthetic features applied and tested, and how such features can be considered throughout the project lifecycle: planning, design, procurement, operation, maintenance, testing and…

Practitioners have raised concerns when designing for heavy vehicles with respect to the combination of design values for side and longitudinal friction demand as well as design criteria for horizontal curves with adverse superelevation. This report…

Crumb rubber binders have been used to construct sprayed seals in Australia for many decades but have not been utilised in asphalt in the past. Due to the lack of crumb rubber binder grades in the Australian national polymer modified binder (PMB)…
