Bridge health monitoring is a method of evaluating the ability of a bridge to perform its required task (also called fitness for purpose) by monitoring the response of the bridge to the traffic loads it has to withstand.

One 1986 and three 1991 180/200 penetration grade Safaniya bitumens (from Saudi Arabia) produced by the Marsden Point Refinery were analysed by a range of procedures to detect any significant differences in chemical composition.

A robust methodology has been developed, in 2000–2001, to locate change points (i.e.

The objective of this project, carried out in 2000–2001, was to study the weathering quality index (WQI), the measure used in the Transit New Zealand M/4:1999 specification basecourse aggregate, in order to determine the changes occurring when a marg…

An accelerated pavement test was conducted at CAPTIF (Canterbury Accelerated Pavement Testing Indoor Facility), Christchurch, New Zealand, between 1999 and 2001, for the purpose of validating the use of the repeat load tri-axial (RLT) apparatus.

Pavements constructed on volcanic soils behave differently to non-volcanic soils and have higher deflections when dynamically loaded.

A methodology has been developed to identify the cost-optimal earthworks cut slope design and establishment of appropriate earthworks contingency factors.

Deck joints are a potential source of deterioration and maintenance problems in a bridge structure and have been identified as the most common maintenance problem in New Zealand road bridges.
