The design of concrete beams for shear loading is governed in New Zealand by the provisions of NZS 3101.

The technical literature up to 1994 dealing with the use of antioxidants to decrease the rate of age hardening in bitumen used for roading chipseals was reviewed.

A 2004 trial of the Otta seal technique in various locations in New Zealand showed that it may be a better option for dust minimisation and, based on life cycle costing, could be a lower-cost option when compared with traditional short-term dust pall…

Dynamic numerical modelling has been carried out in 2005–2007 to investigate the seismic performance of an 11.66 m span, 7.29 m rise, high profile arch culvert.

Hollow core units for bridge spans of various length.

The objective of this project was to investigate the practicality of adopting the AS 5100 bridge design standard for New Zealand.

Safety and environmental drivers are pushing the New Zealand road construction industry away from hot, cutback binders and towards the use of emulsified bitumen as the delivery medium for chipseal binders.

A review was undertaken in 1994 of the regulatory system for local public passenger transport services in New Zealand.

This report seeks to provide a per-kilometre value for the health benefits of active transport modes (such as walking and cycling) that is compatible with the Land Transport New Zealand Economic Evaluation Manual Volume 2 (EEM2).

In recent years, the standard practice in New Zealand regarding binder selection for state highways has been to use harder penetration grade binders and reduced diluents, after some research indicated that the use of harder binders slowed the onset o…
