This report is Part B of the third report for the APT6305 project. The first report examined road-grade recycled plastics in asphalt pavements and investigated the most suitable types of recycled plastics for incorporation into the asphalt. The…

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…

This report details research undertaken to improve the mechanistic-empirical procedure for pavement rehabilitation and strengthening treatment design included in Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design.…

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the type, volume, and price of recycled plastics and their possible uses in asphalt. The report presents data, including recycling processes, prices of recycled plastics, annual production volumes and…

There is a need to improve Austroads procedures for the structural design of pavements containing lightly bound cemented (LBC) materials. This report describes the findings of an investigation of the performance of Queensland pavements with LBC…

Heavy vehicle rest areas (HVRAs) are provided to help heavy vehicle drivers manage fatigue and comply with driving hours regulation. To aid road managers in this task, Austroads has produced 

Guidelines and Specification for Microsurfacing provides guidelines for the use of microsurfacing treatments in Australia. Microsurfacing is presently the only type of bituminous slurry surfacing applied in Australia. The document was produced by…

This report provides recommended content for inclusion in the Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 11: Parking.

This content guides the design of bicycle parking facilities and helps identify appropriate provisions of bicycle parking and end-of-…

This report provides information to assists in the design and installation of bicycle parking and end-of-trip facilities that are fit for purpose. The report provides recommendations, principles and examples of best-practice facility design. It also…

The use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixes provides a vital basis for sustainable development. Maximising the re-use of RAP in its highest value application, as new asphalt product, has significant economic and environmental…
