The laboratory characterisation of cemented materials for road pavements was completed in Austroads Project TT1359 Cost-Effective Structural Treatments for Rural Highwaysand more recently in Austroads Project TT1664 Cemented Materials…
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 summarises the activities undertaken during the 2012–13 year for a long term Austroads pavement monitoring project.
Austroads project AT1064 Long-Term Performance Monitoring to Develop Consistent Performance Models was originally…
This report documents an asphalt deformation trial established over a 1200 m length of Dandenong Road in Melbourne. The trial aimed to validate the wheel tracking used in the Austroads mix design method. The trial involved the placement of seven…
There has been renewed interest in emulsion seals in Australia, but an impediment to their widespread adoption has been perceived as adhesion problems. This study looks at adhesion test procedures and means of improving emulsion seal performance.…
There has been a continual increase in the number of large heavy vehicles nationwide since the review of the Austroads sprayed seal design method in 2001. This report aims to refine the traffic adjustment factor by updating and reanalysing the…
This report documents the process of assembling and reviewing the RMS NSW cracking data and the analysis of this data and its associated variables of climate, traffic load and pavement strength which has led to the development of a potential road…
