Description

Corrugation Control in Unsealed Roads: Mechanisms and Sustainable Solutions. This project addresses widespread corrugation distress in unsealed roads, a safety, economic, and environmental issue for 63% of Australia’s road network. It aims to understand corrugation mechanisms through field studies, laboratory tests, and advanced modelling and to develop sustainable solutions. The expected outcomes include novel material tests, design tools, innovative road materials, and construction methods. This project expects to reduce maintenance costs, improve road safety, and enhance environmental sustainability by addressing the root causes of corrugation. This project should provide significant benefits such as improved infrastructure resilience, environmental alignment with net-zero goals, and enhanced rural connectivity.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4005 - Civil Engineering. Lead: Prof Jayantha Kodikara
