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)…

This report has been prepared by the Austroads Emulsion Project to provide general information on the use and application of bitumen emulsions in Australia and New Zealand. The information contained herein has been compiled from surveys and project…

The report describes the work undertaken in the first year of a two-year project to assist implementation of a new Australian asphalt mix design procedure. The main tasks undertaken were (i) preparation of an update for the Australian Provisional…

This framework for specifying asphalt has been prepared by Austroads and the Australian Asphalt Pavement Association, with input from the New Zealand Pavement and Bitumen Contractors Association (BCA) to promote national uniformity and good practice…

This technical document presents the validation/calibration of the dynamic load response models and provides detailed comparisons between the predicted dynamic responses from the models (linear and non-linear) with the measured wheel force data that…

This report provides mix design flow charts for stabilised materials using lime, cementitious and bituminous binders. The mix design is based on laboratory characterisation using state-of-the-art approaches used by State Road Authorities, local…
