Austroads Pavement Analysis Design Software AustPADS allows users to conduct advanced mechanistic analysis of the response-to-load of road pavements.
The AustPADS user interface and the underlying analysis engine APADS were developed by ARRB Group for Austroads.
The analysis engine is based upon a finite element method model and software developed by Dr Markus Oeser.
If you wish to use AustPADS please apply for an account within the tool. Priority is given to Australia and New Zealand road managers, industry organisations and consultancies working with road agencies.
If you are considering conducting training using AustPADS please contact austroads@austroads.com.au and supply information about who is conducting the training, when and where the course will be held, when the software is likely to be accessed and how many participants you are expecting.
This 47 minute video provides an overview of AustPADS and includes design and analysis examples.
