Research Report 384 Tyre/road contact stresses measured and modelled in three coordinate directions

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

To enable the improvement of the modelling of pavement response and performance, the measurement of full-scale tyre surface contact stress distributions in all three of the coordinate directions was undertaken.

Research Report 171 Health monitoring of superstructures of New Zealand road bridges: Waitangi Washout Bridge, Hawke's Bay

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

Bridge health monitoring is a method of evaluating the ability of a bridge to perform its required task (also called fitness for purpose) by monitoring the response of the bridge to the traffic loads it has to withstand.

Research Report 170 Health monitoring of superstructures of New Zealand road bridges: Waipawa Bridge, Hawke's Bay

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

Bridge health monitoring is a method of evaluating the ability of a bridge to perform its required task (also called fitness for purpose) by monitoring the response of the bridge to the traffic loads it has to withstand.

Criteria for selecting riprap to protect bridge abutments against scour were investigated.

Research Report 372 Resealing strategies to increase seal life and prevent seal layer instability

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

A study of cores from multilayer chipseals shows that fine solid materials (passing 4.75 mm) fill a significant proportion of the chipseal volume that would otherwise be available for bitumen.

Research Report 178 Initial adhesion characteristics of polymer modified binder

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

This report describes work to investigate sealing aggregate bonding to standard and polymer modified bituminous binders.

Research Report 177 Quantifying and improving the performance of road markings

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

This project was undertaken to establish reliable test methods by which the performance of road markings in New Zealand can be assessed.

Research Report 163 Influences of vehicle loading on pavement wear

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

While pavement design and management practices are based on static axle loads, the actual loads applied to pavements are dynamic, varying as the suspension responds to the unevenness in the pavement surface.

Research Report 188 Thin bituminous surfacings for stabilised pavements

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

This report presents a state-of-the-art review of the use of thin surfacings over bound (cementitiously stabilised) pavement layers and develops a test protocol for future research, based on field evaluations of in-service trial pavements.
