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)…

Overseas research has suggested that asphalt fatigue endurance limit may exist, where applied strain is sufficiently low no fatigue damage accumulates in the asphalt as the rate of asphalt healing exceeds the rate of damage accumulation. The…

This report reviews published information on the formulation, manufacture and properties of geopolymer binders and concretes, to inform the manufacture of geopolymer concrete components for structural and non-structural bridge components and other…

This report details a literature review on durability issues that affect the service life of reinforced concrete structures.

The review focused on information from sources within Australia and overseas, including published literature, standards,…

This report summarises the results of experiments undertaken to understand the practices required to enable a 100-year design life of bridges in an aggressive environment.

The experimental work was informed by an extensive literature review and…

This report documents the results of an Austroads project to identify the asset management needs and level of service (LOS) requirements of future non-freight road users.

Preliminary work documented the relationship of this project to other Austroads…
