Description

A practical method for predicting the performance of unbound granular materials, including alternative, industrial by-products and recycled materials has been proposed. It is recommended that this method replace the existing laboratory repeated load triaxial (RLT) method adopted in the Transit New Zealand specification TNZ M/22 (2000) to determine the suitability of the alternative road material for use as a base or sub-base material for thin-surfaced granular pavements in the New Zealand context.
