Accelerated Long-term Ageing Methods for Sprayed Sealing Binders: A Field Validation Study
This report presents the results of a field validation study conducted as part of the development of a new long term ageing test for polymer modified binders used in sprayed seals in Australia. Unaged samples of binders were collected during the…
Performance of Asphalt and Spray Grade PMBs in Sprayed Seals
The Australian polymer modified binder (PMB) specification (AGPT/T190) currently requires different binder grades to be used in sprayed sealing and asphalt applications. This study compared the sprayed seal performance of PMBs representing four AGPT/…
Deformation Performance of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Pavements Under Full-scale Accelerated Loading
This report details the first phase of Austroads project TT2046 Improving the Cost Effectiveness of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Pavements which evaluated the deformation performance of foamed bitumen stabilised materials
Long-term Pavement Performance Study: Final Report
This report summarises the outputs and benefits of the long‑term pavement performance (LTPP) study which ran from 1994 to 2018 and was funded by Austroads. The study had four primary objectives: to enhance road asset management strategies by 
Austroads LTPP/LTPPM Study - Final Summary Report 2017-18
The report provides a summary of works undertaken during the period 2017&ndash
Austroads LTPP/LTPPM Study - Summary Report 2016–17

The report provides a summary of works undertaken during the period 2016–17 for the Austroads project AT1064 – Long-term pavement performance (LTPP).

Austroads has funded the long-term pavement performance study since late 1994. The project monitors…

National Performance-based Asphalt Specification Framework

Part 4B of the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology provides a recommended approach to the design and characterisation of asphalt mixes in Australia and New Zealand. However, the approach to asphalt mix design and performance characterisation…

Validation of Revised Austroads Sprayed Seal Design Approaches: Site Inspection

This report details investigations that were conducted to verify the new Austroads sprayed seal design guidelines.

To verify the appropriateness of the proposed basic voids factor (Vf), and the initial sealing design approach (and also to validate…

Development of a Sprayed Seal Binder Cracking Test

This report describes research into development of a laboratory sprayed seal binder cracking test which can be used to measure the relative fatigue cracking resistance of thin binder films which have thicknesses comparable to the thicknesses of the…

Heavy Vehicle Horizontal Stresses and Pavement Surface Performance

This report presents the findings of Austroads Project AT1540 Understanding the impact on pavement surfaces from next generation freight vehicles and developing practical network prediction models and responses. The main purpose of the project was…
