This study sought to extend the understanding of pavement works effects (WE) by extending the scope of WE treatments and evaluation measures previously used.

The study was based on data extracted from Austroads long?term pavement performance (LTPP)…

Reliable live traffic data collection is crucial for effective pavement life prediction, fatigue estimation, vibration control, maintenance, and condition assessment of the bridge structures. Bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) is a technology utilising a…

At 1.76km long, the Rakaia River Bridge is the longest bridge in New Zealand. When combined with the Rangitata River Bridges (identical structural form), these structures comprise 223 spans and over 2.7km of reinforced concrete bridge on State…

This report provides a methodology to establish an Australian (and potentially a New Zealand) weigh?in?motion (WIM) network.
