Austroads sponsored a technical research project Managing the Impacts of Rising Watertables and Salinity on Pavement Performance . The overall desirable deliverables were tools to assist road authorities to identify those sections of road that are…

This Pavement Work Tip is a practical guide to sprayed sealing in areas where a pavement may be affected by drought or salt content in its construction.

This summary report describes a measurement technology with the capacity to provide estimates of the vehicle pavement interaction through measurements of the horizontal stresses resulting from vehicle movements. A transducer specifically designed to…

This report aims to ascertain the validity of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to forecast gross combination mass (GCM) values by the correlation of WIM data with classified counts. AI has been applied successfully to speech recognition,…

This report presents an extensive literature review of pavement surface texture measurement methods with a specific interest in how they affect operator safety and delays to traffic. The literature review shows that there are a number of methods in…

Part 4J of the Guide to Pavement Technology provides information and guidance on: the classification and description of source rocks

This literature review covers the development of bitumen specifications and test procedures from Australia, USA, Europe and South Africa. In order to have a better understanding of the imported bitumens into Australia, this report discusses the…

This report describes a measurement technology with the capacity to provide estimates of the vehicle-pavement interaction through measurements of the horizontal stresses resulting from vehicle movements. A summary of overseas technology leading to…

This report describes the development of a laboratory test used to assess surfacing response to horizontal stresses and contributes a stronger performance focus for the specification of materials used in bituminous surfacings used in these…

The establishment of an asphalt field trial requires considerable planning and usually involves significant resources. The selection of a trial site can significantly affect the likelihood of a clear outcome. The information provided will assist in…
