This report compares the Austroads Data Standard with buildingSMARTS’s IFC4 and Uniclass 2015. All are works in progress.
The Data Specifications Inventory of 32 object classes within Austroads’ draft standard (Draft 2 Version 2 which is to be…
This report examines the capacity of the extra-large wheel-tracking laboratory test method to predict the in-service performance of granular materials.
Rutting is a common distress mode of unbound granular bases under thin bituminous surfacings.
Five…
This report documents research to validate the wheel-tracking approach as a complementary means of evaluating the rutting performance of granular bases. Firstly, the influence of the moisture content on the laboratory wheel-tracking performances is…
Austroads project AT1539 developed guidance for the use of new technologies that can improve the efficiency of road asset managers. This report is the second stage of the project and it assesses eleven new technologies that can be potentially useful…
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 presents an analytical and parametric study to assess the relevance of rutting performance models for unbound granular pavements.
The rutting performance relationship used in the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 2 – Pavement…
This report investigates the origins of the current Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) criteria that differentiates modified granular materials from bound materials. Based on the review, a number of changes to the UCS design criteria are…
