This study obtained an indication of the proportion of Australian commercially manufactured polymer modified binders (PMBs) liable to segregate, identifed suitable tests to measure segregation propensity and proposes measures to help prevent or…

Road transport regulation and compliance are occurring within a rapidly evolving environment due to significant changes to road transport law and the establishment of an independent National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) which will be responsible…

In modern bridge structures, bridge bearings and expansion joints are commonly the source of most maintenance and performance issues. In some situations their performance can lead to the closure/failure of major structures and their maintenance can…

This report is an investigation on the development of the performance relationships used in the 2002 AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). The primary objective of this investigation was to see if these relationships could be…

Despite the fact that the occurrence of large earthquakes in Australia is rare, the consequences can be fatal and costly. The performance of bridges during and after earthquake events is critical in ensuring that road networks remain operational and…

This report explores the dynamic forces that heavy vehicles apply to road pavements and the effects that these forces have on pavement performance. The research focussed on identification of accurate and cost effective means to quantify dynamic…

Austroads Project AT1064 Long Term Performance Monitoring to Develop Consistent Performance Models has been running since 1994-95. A review of the analysis of US long term pavement performance (US LTPP) data used to validate the performance…

This report presents, improvements implemented for pavement response to load models performed during the Austroads project Developments of Pavement Design Models. There is a large diversity of local materials and significant demand for using…

This report outlines what is considered national best practice for the planning, design and implementation of temporary traffic control measures at road work sites. Information and advice in the areas of risk management, compliance safety…

Traffic Control Devices for Works on Roads provides a national standard for the establishment of temporary traffic control arrangements at roadwork sites. Each jurisdiction has a different requirement for the training and accreditation of personnel…
