This webinar, presented by Dr Negin Zhalehjoo, Andrew Papacostas and Dr Didier Bodin, focuses on the outcomes of an Austroads research project &ldquo

This report presents the findings of a project that evaluates the fatigue performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) pavements under accelerated loading. Using accelerated pavement testing, the project evaluated three FBS host materials (100%…

This report documents a project to develop a new laboratory fatigue relationship to predict the performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. The project focused on extensive laboratory experiments including indirect tensile testing and…

Austroads has published two technical reports drawing together the research underpinning changes made to key components of the Guide to Pavement Technology. The reports detail the technical basis for changes made to 

This report documents the technical basis of the 2011 and 2019 editions of Austroads&rsquo

This report provides an evaluation framework, practices and supporting tools for evaluating road preservation and renewal treatment options for predominantly sprayed seal flexible pavements. It includes a compilation of case studies based on a…

The use of stabilisation technology for stabilising and recycling materials for pavement construction and maintenance is widely accepted as a cost-effective method of improving long‑term performance and reducing whole-of-life costs of modern,…

There is a need to improve the Austroads procedures for mix design and structural design of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. This final report summarises the mix design test methods developed within the context of an Austroads mix design…

The report reviews current Australian and selected international structural design methods for pavements on lime-stabilised subgrade layers. Research to investigate in-service strength and modulus of lime-stabilised materials is also summarised. The…

Crash databases are an essential tool in analysing crash risk. Databases allow identification of high crash locations, and provide information on crash causation, allowing these crashes to be effectively targeted. The information contained in crash…
