Join us for this FREE NACOE webinar!
During 2018/19, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) began conducting research aimed at facilitating the increased use of recycled materials in unbound and stabilised pavement materials, as part of the National Asset Centre of Excellence (NACOE) research program.
While TMR has permitted the use of recycled materials in unbound pavements since 2010 through the MRTS35 Recycled Materials in Pavements specification, this project has looked at modernising the specification requirements and structure by reviewing current national practices, undertaking laboratory testing to understand the characteristics and performance of recycled materials, and engaging with industry.
Based on the outcomes of this project, TMR completed updates to the MRTS05 Unbound Pavements specification in July 2020 to create a single specification for natural, quarried, and recycled materials.
This webinar outlines the key findings from the project and summarises the requirements in the MRS/MRTS05 specification suite for using recycled materials.
Presenters
Dr Didier Bodin - Principal Professional Leader - Future Transport Infrastructure, ARRB
Stephen Hulme - Principal Engineer - Pavements, Research and Innovation, TMR.
