Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4A: Granular Base and Subbase Materials
This Guide contains advice on the selection, testing and specification of crushed rock and naturally occurring granular materials for use in pavement base and subbase construction.
Austroads Test Methods and Specifications
This document provides a hyperlinked list of the Austroads Test Methods and Specifications.
Surface Deviation Using a Straightedge
This method describes the procedure for obtaining a measure of the evenness of a pavement surface as determined by the deviation from a three metre straightedge. It is applicable only to the measurement of depressions in the pavement surface and to…
Classifying, Measuring and Valuing the Benefits of Place on the Transport System
This report explores and draws together the ways in which place is classified, measured and valued from a transport perspective. Through a literature review, the study captured the way place was being measured and valued by a range of different…
Improved Laboratory Characterisation of the Deformation Properties of Granular Materials

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.

Pavement Crack Measurement with an Automated Crack Detection System
This test method defines the procedure for locating and identifying surface cracks in a road pavement using an automated crack detection system.
Pavement Data Collection with a Traffic Speed Deflectometer (TSD) Device
This test method defines the procedure for measuring the deflection velocity of road pavements using a traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) device.
Specification for Pavement Crack Measurement with an Automatic Crack Detection System
This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level automatic crack detection.
Specification for Pavement Roughness Measurement with an Inertial Profilometer
This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement roughness measurement using an inertial profilometer.
Validation of a Laser Profilometer for Measuring Pavement Surface Texture (Reference Device Method)
This test method defines the procedure for performing validation checks of the measurements of pavement surface macro-texture determined using a laser profilometer, by comparing them to the measurements from a static or manual reference device.
