Two significant road trials have been initiated to better understand the performance defining properties of Polymer Modified Binders when used in sprayed sealing applications over cracked pavements. Treatments varied from manually applied crack sealants at a site near Carnarvon in West Australia to Strain Absorbing Membranes (SAMs) applied as hot-sprayed applications at both Carnarvon and locations in south-east Queensland. Information from these trials has been presented in a series of working documents, research reports and conference papers. This report provides a linkage between several of the more significant documents and provides future users of the research findings with access to the more limited circulation data reports and trialing protocols.
