This test method defines the procedure for measuring the rutting of road pavements, determined by the direct measurement of the transverse profile of the road surface using a laser profilometer. The device must be capable of producing an accurate…

This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement rutting measurement using a laser profilometer.

A new rut resistance approach based on the wheel-tracking test for unbound granular materials has been developed. The objective of the Austroads project TT1819 is to validate the wheel-tracker laboratory approach against large-scale Accelerated…

This report describes the planning and construction of Australian field trials which will measure of the relative performance of polymer modified binders (PMBs) used in strain alleviating membranes in sprayed bituminous sealing. Issues addressed in…

Recognising the importance to pavement designers, asset managers and policy makers of an improved understanding of the relationship between different multiple axle group loads (single, tandem, triaxles, etc.) and road pavement performance, Austroads…

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the deflection response of road pavements using a Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD).

This test method defines the procedure for validating the distance measurement performance of vehicles conducting road condition monitoring surveys (e.g. inertial laser profilometers, Falling Weight Deflectometers, etc.).

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the maximum deflection and curvature of road pavements using a deflectograph.

Part 6 of the Guide to Pavement Technology addresses unsealed pavements including operational demands of unsealed road surfaces, pavement configurations, floodways, cuts, fills and mine haul roads, the identification of suitable pavement materials…

Part 10: Subsurface Drainage provides advice on the general requirements for drainage materials, design of pavement drains and construction and maintenance considerations. This Part contains information on the types and uses of subsurface drainage…
