This research reviewed the New Zealand vibrating hammer laboratory compaction test and energy standardisation thereof.

New Zealand pavement engineers, in collaboration with colleagues in South Africa and Australia, are recognised internationally as leaders in the use of stabilisation in highway, road, airport, port and industrial hardstand pavement applications.

The main purpose of this project is to identify appropriate traffic and loading data for use in RAMM, other pavement management systems (PMS) with treatment selection algorithms and for pavement deterioration models.

The most common form of distress of aged open graded porous asphalt (OGPA) is loss of chip from the surface (fretting and ravelling) caused by embrittlement through reaction with atmospheric oxygen.

As the demand for a cost-effective and environmentally friendly pavement stabilisation method increases, so has foamed bitumen stabilisation for unbound granular pavement layers started to gain broad acceptance worldwide.

An investigation into the application of SASW (seismic analysis of surface waves), to measure the layer thickness and material moduli of pavements to assess pavement strength, was carried out in 2003 on roads in New Zealand.

This report details findings from the New Zealand Long-Term Pavement Performance Programme that aims at the development of deterioration models.

The relationships between measured truck response data and road profile variance values derived from raw road profiles for short, long and medium wavelengths were examined.

Chipsealing is the predominant resurfacing used on the state highway network in New Zealand.

The specification for aggregates for use on New Zealand roads includes the British Polished Stone Value (PSV) test.
