This report presents an analytical and parametric study to assess the relevance of rutting performance models for unbound granular pavements.
The rutting performance relationship used in the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 2 – Pavement…
This report investigates the origins of the current Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) criteria that differentiates modified granular materials from bound materials. Based on the review, a number of changes to the UCS design criteria are…
To assess permanent deformation of granular materials repeated triaxial tests are currently used. A previous research project highlighted interest in using a wheel-tracking test to obtain a better agreement with field performance.
A new wheel-tracker…
To assess permanent deformation of granular materials, repeated triaxial tests are currently used in Australia. A previous research project highlighted interest in using a wheel-tracking test to obtain a better agreement with field performance. A…
This report details the data collected during the performance assessment of a typical unbound granular pavement under accelerated loading, using the Accelerated Loading Facility (ALF) with single, tandem and triaxle axle group loads.
As part of the…
