The falling weight deflectometer (FWD) which measures pavement deflections was assessed for its ability to predict the life of a newly constructed or rehabilitated pavement.

The results of a survey of recent literature on the topic of dust palliatives for unsealed roads are presented, and an investigation is described that was conducted during 1994, using a number of palliative products in road test sections constructed …

Between July 2004 and February 2006, research was continued on the safety implications of flush medians in Auckland, New Zealand.
