This webinar, presented by Dr James Grenfell and Dr Didier Bodin, focuses on the development of a specification on the supply of recycled crushed glass sand as part of a project to support increased use of recycled crushed glass (RCG) in road…

The purpose of this guideline is to provide potential recyclers with the information they need to gain a better understanding of how recycled crushed glass (RCG) should be processed to make it fit-for-purpose for infrastructure applications. This…

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…

This report examines the capacity of the extra-large wheel-tracking laboratory test method to predict the in-service performance of granular materials.

Rutting is a common distress mode of unbound granular bases under thin bituminous surfacings.

Five…

This document is an update of the design procedure for double/double sprayed seal surfacing. The information supersedes that in Update of the Austroads Sprayed Seal Design Method(Austroads 2006), and replaces Sections 6, 7 and 8 in that document.

Polished aggregate friction value (PAFV) tests are used by most jurisdictions in Australia to determine the resistance of aggregates to the polishing action of vehicle tyres on the road. Two versions of the PAFV test are used in Australia: the…

This report describes studies of the effects of test conditions on vertical polished aggregate friction value (PAFV) results and the results of a proficiency study which was conducted to determine a preliminary PAFV value for UK aggregate. The…

Cutting solvents have been traditionally added to binders used in sprayed sealing in Australia and New Zealand to ensure that effective adhesion occurs between binder and aggregate. Recent Polymer modified binder (PMB) sealing failures, which have…

The work described in this report determines updated cutter level recommendations for S10E and S20E binders. Studies were also conducted to investigate the relationship between the contact angle of water on films of bitumen and PMB binders, and…

This Pavement Work Tip is a practical guide for restoring texture to bleeding or flushed surfaces by applying additional aggregate with the assistance of chemical solvents.
