This work tip provides guidance on binder sampling to ensure that consistent and reliably representative samples are obtained so that any test results: represent, as near as practicable, an average of a consignment or batch

Guide to Pavement Technology Part 2: Pavement Structural Design provides advice for the structural design of sealed road pavements. The advice has been generally developed from the approaches followed by the Austroads member agencies. However, as it…

Austroads has completed a project to replace the obsolete gyratory compactors used in design and quality control testing of asphalt mixes and update its Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4B: Asphalt. Austroads asphalt mix design procedure currently…

This report presents the summary of project activities conducted in 2006/07. A number of suitable sealed granular pavement sites were identified across Australia for inclusion in the LTPP study. An improved revised method was used to calibrate HDM-4…

This report presented a summary of three pilot studies completed on bitumen emulsions, foam bitumen sprayed sealing and warm mix asphalt.Increasing awareness of environmental issues and energy conservation have led to identifying alternative binder…

This Pavement Work Tip is a practical guide to sprayed sealing in areas where a pavement may be affected by drought or salt content in its construction.

This summary report describes a measurement technology with the capacity to provide estimates of the vehicle pavement interaction through measurements of the horizontal stresses resulting from vehicle movements. A transducer specifically designed to…

This report presents an extensive literature review of pavement surface texture measurement methods with a specific interest in how they affect operator safety and delays to traffic. The literature review shows that there are a number of methods in…

This report describes a measurement technology with the capacity to provide estimates of the vehicle-pavement interaction through measurements of the horizontal stresses resulting from vehicle movements. A summary of overseas technology leading to…

This report describes the development of a laboratory test used to assess surfacing response to horizontal stresses and contributes a stronger performance focus for the specification of materials used in bituminous surfacings used in these…
