Roundabouts have been a key form of junction in the UK for many years. They are used on all classes of road in both urban and rural areas for the efficient and safe control of traffic, particularly where side road flows are high. Roundabouts are heavily used throught the UK's trunk and principal road network, as well as on local authority roads. The report presents an international review of ro…

The Laboratory has since carried out an extensive program of testing on construction sites. Early results from this program are presented which indicate that pavement stiffness is important but which also confirms that other non-structural factors increase the risk of failure. Cores taken from the surfacings established that slippage is strongly associated with a lack of shear near the interfac…
The report provides information on the recommended methods of operating the deflection beam and deflectograph, the two types of measuring equipment in use in the UK. It also draws attention to the possible consequances of using non-standard techniques of operation. The first part of the report describes preferred operating procedures when the equipment is used to carry out a deflection survey a…
The report describes the deflection beam, which was used in the original studies, and its standardised method of operation in the UK. The Lacroix deflectograph, an automatic technique of measuring deflections under a rolling wheel, is suitable for carrying our deflection surveys on long lengths of road. The machine as modified for use in the UK is described together with details of ancilliary e…
