⁠⁠⁠The purpose of this project is to update the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology (AGPT):

• Part 1 Introduction to Pavement Technology

• Part 3 Pavement Surfacing's

• Part 4 Pavement Materials.

Scope:

The project will update the Guide to Pavement Technology Parts 1, 3 and 4 in consultation with appropriate Austroads technical groups, member agencies and other stakeholders.

Part 1 provides general information regarding pavement technology. Part 3 addresses the selection of pavement surfacing, and Part 4 provides an overview of the criteria by which pavement materials should be assessed. Parts 1, 3 and 4 provide informative guidance.

Parts 1, 3 and 4 are to undergo a minor update to revise:

• references, terminology and guidance ensuring consistency with other more recently published Austroads documents including Specifications, Work Tips and AGPT Parts

• photos to reflect current practices

• commentary relating to new materials including High Modulus Asphalt (EME) and Gap Graded Crumb Rubber asphalt

• commentary relating to recycled materials, climate change, energy consumption (e.g., Part 4 Tables 4.4 – 4.6, recycled materials etc) to reflect more recently updated AGPT Parts and other readily available information.

Deliverables:

This project will produce the following final deliverables:

• Updated editions of the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology (AGPT):

- Part 1 Introduction to Pavement Technology

- Part 3 Pavement Surfacing's
