The research investigated aspects of the use of epoxy modified bitumen for construction of chip seals.

Road bridges are subjected to millions of cycles of heavy vehicle loading over their design lives, and the introduction of higher vehicle mass limits on New Zealand roads will significantly increase the rates of fatigue damage in bridge superstructur…

The design of frost-resistant pavements are discussed.

This paper develops a methodology and evidence to enable the assessment of wider economic impacts of transport.

An overview of non-traditional backfill materials has been compiled from material identified in an international literature search carried out in 1992.

Research undertaken between 2007 and 2009 examined the influence of binder rise in reducing tyre–road friction of chipseal surfaces.

Impact factors were recorded on main members and deck slabs (where appropriate) of 12 bridges of between 9 and 30 metre span, under normal traffic conditions.

This project involved a review of literature that was available in 1993 with additions from some 1995 documents, on the design and construction of unbound granular pavements.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) as a non-destructive pavement investigation tool, and its application for use in New Zealand, have both been evaluated.

A review has been made of the international literature that was available up to 1996 and of New Zealand experience and practices for the stabilisation of materials for use in road pavements.
