The pavement, including shoulders, is reinforced concrete with a total length equivalent to 42 km of a two-lane road. Built under a...

Reducing Traffic Noise (Jun 1995)

Cca-road-note

Much of the mechanism to minimise the environmental impact of new, and upgrading of existing, roads is described in environmental impact statements (FIS). Recently, the community has played an important role in the preparation of EISs by assessing the potential impact and benefits derived from such statements Prepared by engineers....

Bankstown City Council A Review Of 10 Years Of Recycling Streets By Cement Stabilisation (Sep 1981)

Cca-road-note

Many Local Government authorities in Australia are finding themselves in the position where roads constructed many years ago are now showing signs of distress.

Through this system all streets are visually assessed and classified with regard to surface...

Pavement Asset Management (Aug 1995)

Cca-road-note

Pavement performance audits have also assisted engineers to analyse vast amounts of data relating to the performance of various traffickable roads in the municipality. Assessing different rehabilitation or reconstruction strategies requires an understanding of the costs and longevity of different pavement types and treatments. Since rigid pavements outlast flexible pavements,...

Active Crack Control for Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements (CRCP) In Belgium Through Partial Surface Notches

Technical-report

Recent field observations on several newly constructed Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements (CRCP) in Belgium have indicated that the crack pattern is characterized as low mean crack spacing (approximately 1.0 m after 2 years in-service) along with a high percentage of clusters of closely spaced cracks. Besides, field surveys also indicate...
