Technical Basis of Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design

This report documents the technical basis of the 2011 and 2019 editions of Austroads’ Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design. Pavement evaluation and rehabilitation treatment design is an integral part of managing a road network. Some roads require strengthening treatments to carry future traffic. Austroads has provided guidance on the selection and design of strengthening treatments to rehabilitate pavements for more than 30 years. This report describes the development of methods to design strengthening treatments such as granular overlay, asphalt overlays, inlays and stabilisation treatment for flexible pavements. Watch the webinar with Dr Michael Moffatt and Dr Geoff Jameson who detail the technical basis for changes made to the Guide.
