This report describes inspections conducted on double/double primerseals constructed in Victoria.
It is not typical practice to use two-layer primerseals, or polymer modification in primerseals, and methods to do so are not described by Austroads…
This report details the findings from visual inspections conducted on two Austroads sprayed seal field trials: a non-modified binders trial near Gisborne,
A mobile pavement surface wear rig has been constructed, which aims to gain an improved understanding of the failure mechanisms that are particular to the pavement surfacing layer – as distinct from the structural layers – that may be caused by…
This report provides asset managers with practical guidance in the development and delivery of effective resealing programs. It builds on accumulated experience of previous studies and a review of sprayed seal performance throughout Australasia.

Polymer modified binders (PMBs) are increasingly used in road construction as they provide enhanced performance properties compared with conventional bitumen. Even though PMBs show enhanced service properties, they may show degradation or changes in…
This report presents the results of a laboratory study that was conducted as part of the development of a new-long term ageing (durability) test for bituminous binders used in sprayed seals in Australia.
Among the number of test methods reviewed and…
The laboratory characterisation of cemented materials for road pavements was completed in Austroads Project TT1359 Cost-Effective Structural Treatments for Rural Highwaysand more recently in Austroads Project TT1664 Cemented Materials…
