This report presents the results of testing conducted on an unbound granular pavement with a thin bituminous surfacing using a variety of tyre types and half-axle loads applied using the Accelerated Loading Facility. It was found that the reference…

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the safety benefits of heavy vehicle accreditation. Accreditation is a formal process for recognising operators who have good safety and other management systems in place. Those management systems…

Improved RD models for sealed granular and asphalt pavements are needed. Pavement performance history data from state road authorities and New Zealand (SRAs) were used for calibrating RD models. The calibration and refinement of RD models is…

Over the last decade a considerable amount of research effort has been focussed on the development of a repeated load triaxial (RLT) test procedure to assist practitioners in the use of natural and marginal unbound base/subbase materials in road…

The objective of this report is to provide data relating the laboratory repeated load triaxial test (RLT) results to field performance and to develop procedures for incorporation of RLT test results into performance-based specifications and…

The purpose of this document is to deliver consistency of enforcement practices across jurisdictions, improve compliance with road transport law, and deliver greater road safety outcomes and asset protection. It is intended to provide guidance to…

The purpose of this document is to provide administrative guidelines that are consistent with the national model Road Transport Reform (Compliance and Enforcement) Bill (the

The Austroads Member Authorities (AMAs) are developing a Performance Based Specification (PBS) approach to the specification of unbound granular materials in Australia and New Zealand. There has been general agreement to adopt the engineering…
