The purpose of this literature review is to assess the current body of research for the incorporation of recycled material in pavements to inform updated guidance to the current Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4E: Recycled Materials. New…

This report presents the technical basis for the development of the Austroads technical specification and guideline for the use of recycled glass in bedding, backfilling material, concrete, road drainage, embankment fill, and landscaping…

Consideration is being given to the use of new methods of characterisation to improve performance prediction in the Austroads pavement design procedures, including flexural strength, breaking strain and flexural modulus.

This study evaluated cemented…

Following the Austroads research reports prepared as part of TT1359: Cost-effective Structural Treatments for Rural Highways in June 2010 and TT1358 Strategic Review of Pavement Design, Austroads commissioned ARRB Group to undertake further research…

This report details a laboratory investigation of the effects of different multiple-axle load groups on the fatigue performance of cement treated materials. In the Austroads flexible pavement design process the performance of cement treated…

The laboratory characterisation of cemented materials for road pavements has recently been completed in Austroads Project TT1359 Cost-Effective Structural Treatments for Rural Highways. This project concluded there is a need for a substantial…

The study involved a laboratory assessment of two cemented materials to assess their strength, modulus and fatigue properties. The cemented materials consisted of a hornfels crushed rock and a quartzite siltstone bound with general purpose cement at…

This research involved a performance assessment of two cemented pavement materials using the Accelerated Loading Facility (ALF) to simulate heavy axle loading. The assessment involved a number of axle loads from a standard half axle load of 40 kN to…

This report provides mix design flow charts for stabilised materials using lime, cementitious and bituminous binders. The mix design is based on laboratory characterisation using state-of-the-art approaches used by State Road Authorities, local…
