This report documents a study designed to predict temperature and load frequency in asphalt pavements and their effect on the modulus of the asphalt material. It is the first report from a three-year Austroads project which aims to improve the…
This report is the first progress report of a four year project which aims to improve the Austroads procedures for the mix and structural design of foamed bitumen stabilised materials.
The report summarises the test methods drafted to date and…
This report presents the findings from the first year of a three year Austroads study which aims to maximise the re-use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new asphalt product. The objective of this first year of study is to improve the…
This report presents the results of a literature review and laboratory study which was conducted as part of the development of a new-long term ageing (durability) test for bituminous binders used in sprayed seals in Australia.
The literature review…
This report provides a brief state-of-the-art review of current traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) practice based on information gained from attending the deflection at road traffic speed workshop held in the UK in June 2012.
The current state of…
Bitumen, an important component used in road construction in Australia and New Zealand, is manufactured from a finite, non-renewable crude oil resource. A number of commercially available alternative binders and bitumen extended binders have been…
This report describes the planning and construction of Australian field trials which will measure of the relative performance of polymer modified binders (PMBs) used in strain alleviating membranes in sprayed bituminous sealing. Issues addressed in…
