Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design provides advice for the investigation of existing sealed road pavements and the selection and design of pavement strategies/treatments. It covers pavement investigation, testing and evaluation, identification of causes and modes of distress, and treatment options. Knowledge of pavement technology is of critical impor…
The guides provides advice for the investigation of existing sealed road pavements and the selection and design of pavement strategies/treatments. The advice has been generally developed from the approaches followed by Austroads' member authorities. however, as it encompasses the wide range of materials and conditions found in Australia and New Zealand, some parts broadly based. Treatment selec…
It provides advice on the general requirements for earthworks materials and the characteristics of material types used in a range of specific applications. The advice has been generally developed from the approaches followed by Austroad member authorities. However, as it encompasses the wide range of materials and conditions found in Australia and New Zealand, some parts are broadly based. desi…
Using two case studies, this paper demonstrates the role that controlled accelerated pavement tests can play in the development of performance based laboratory testing procedures. Firstly, the results of an evaluation of the rut-resistant properties of asphalt mixes under accelerated loading using the Accelerated Loading Facility (ALF) conducted between November 1993 and May 1995 are summarized…
