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…

This 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 summary of overseas technology leading to…

This report describes the development of a laboratory test used to assess surfacing response to horizontal stresses and contributes a stronger performance focus for the specification of materials used in bituminous surfacings used in these…

The establishment of an asphalt field trial requires considerable planning and usually involves significant resources. The selection of a trial site can significantly affect the likelihood of a clear outcome. The information provided will assist in…

In 1993, Austroads performed an extensive trial of foamed bitumen sprayed sealing in Australia, as a part of environmental and energy effective sealing technology development program. The trials were conducted in various states and reported to be…

This report reviewed overseas and Australian experience in using bitumen emulsions. Increasing economic and environmental pressures have induced an increase in demand for the use of bitumen emulsions overseas. However, emulsion sprayed seals are…
