This report explores sprayed seal technologies and practices to improve their sustainability and reduce their environmental impact.

The project aimed to assess and demonstrate the viability of incorporating other-than-truck tyres crumb rubber into asphalt applications from an operational and constructability standpoint. Following the initial part of the project that assessed the…

This report showcases the practical application of various sources of end-of-life tyres converted into crumb rubber for asphalt road use. It is part of an Austroads project which aims to demonstrate the viability of incorporating crumb rubber…

This report, which focuses on the reflective cracking of asphalt overlays, documents the findings of project APT6330. The project comprised two main phases. The purpose of the first phase was to undertake a laboratory testing program to characterise…

The webinar provides an overview of an Austroads project which provided expert technical input into the revision of three Australian Standard test methods (AS 2341.4, AS 2341.15 and AS 2341.27) and three national specification documents (AS 2008, AS…
