Sustainable Solution For Construction Of Pavement Over Expansive Subgrades
Geogrids are used to reinforced and stabilise the roads and improve the bearing capacity of pavements on soft subgrades. Additionally, geogrids installed within granular layer of a pavement formation are frequently used to control environmental distress and limit longitudinal cracking due to expansive subgrades by providing the stiffening, known as the new function of geosynthetic […]
TMR’s Traffic Data Strategy – setting the foundation for the next decade
Traffic Data is one of TMRs key strategic assets and as such is a fundamental input into a wide variety of TMR business (from infrastructure business cases to managing our road network). The Traffic Data strategy provides an agreed, consistent direction on how to best use, collect and manage our traffic data. While the strategy is inward […]
Concrete Technology and Durability in TMR – Past, Present and Future
This presentation will give a brief history of our concrete technology and concrete durability journey within TMR QLD over the last 20 years together with our present position and issues, and where we see some of our future challenges and development. Topics covered will include our overall concrete durability approach, our experiences with superworkable concrete, […]
Flood Loadings on Bridges – Is it time to bring Computational Fluid Dynamics into the equation?
TMR’s Hydraulics and Flooding Unit has successfully applied Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) since 2016 and has a stand-alone licence for the CFD package FLOW-3D. Currently FLOW-3D is mostly used in the Department to validate empirical form loss coefficients at bridge and culvert structures in commonly used 2-dimensional hydraulic models like TUFLOW, thus reducing modelling uncertainty […]
