The Austroads mechanistic-empirical design system documented in Part 2 of the Guide to Pavement Technology uses a laboratory fatigue relationship previously developed by Shell to predict the fatigue life of asphalt layers. The Shell fatigue…

This report documents the findings of the first stage of an Austroads project which aims to benchmark the laboratory fatigue performance of locally manufactured asphalt mixes against the performance predicted by the Shell relationship in Austroads…

This is the second webinar in a two-webinar series, and it covers the improvements made to the Regional Flood Frequency Estimation (RFFE) method in the Guide to Road Design Part 5.

In response to feedback provided by industry and stakeholders, Austroads has reviewed its Guide to Road Design Part 5: Drainage &ndash

The Guide to Road Design Part 5: Drainage – General and Hydrology Considerations provides road designers and other practitioners with guidance on the design of drainage systems.

The Guide to Road Design Part 5A: Drainage: Road Surface, Networks, Basins and Subsurface, provides road designers and other practitioners with guidance on the design of the collection and discharge of water from road surfaces, pit and pipe systems,…

Guide to Road Design Part 5B: Drainage &ndash

Austroads has completed its project APT6305 Use of Road-grade Recycled Plastics for Sustainable Asphalt Pavements which was investigating road-grade recycled plastics that can be used to construct and maintain asphalt roads. The project results are…

This report is Part B of the third report for the APT6305 project. The first report examined road-grade recycled plastics in asphalt pavements and investigated the most suitable types of recycled plastics for incorporation into the asphalt. The…

This webinar, presented by Dr Negin Zhalehjoo, Andrew Papacostas and Dr Didier Bodin, focuses on the outcomes of an Austroads research project &ldquo
