The models of traffic-induced pavement wear, which form the basis of current pavement design and management practices, are based on static axle loads.

This report presents the results of a survey of New Zealand's territorial authorities, Transit New Zealand and selected industry organisations on pavement engineering issues.

This report follows on from Opus Report 95-526264.01, which recommends a test procedure for New Zealand basecourse materials.

The correlation between road roughness, as measured by the NAASRA roughness meter, and the profile factor, measured by profile beams, was investigated between 1992 and 1995.

This report presents the results of a literature review on the topic of fibre reinforcement in cemented pavement base materials.

A mechanistic design procedure was adopted by Transit New Zealand for rehabilitation projects on New Zealand roads.

This report describes the work undertaken between 1992 and 1995 under the first and second stages of a research project into road vehicle repair and maintenance costs in relation to road operating conditions.

Data is essential for understanding the demands placed on road assets and transport networks.

A research project was carried out in 2001–02 to investigate subgrade soil water conditions of road pavements in New Zealand, in particular the applicability of soaked or unsoaked test specimens, and seasonal influences on subgrade stiffness.

Reinforcement corrosion is the most significant durability problem affecting New Zealand concrete bridges.
