This report presents the final outcome of an investigation to review, analysis and identify suitable sealed granular pavement sections for inclusion in the LTPP study. The investigation identified 69 sealed granular pavement test sections across Australia. The identified sections cover three climatic zones, namely dry, temperate and wet zones and three broad categories of traffic volumes, e.g. less than 10,000 AADT, 10,000 to 25,000 AADT and greater than 25,000 AADT. These sections along with the current sealed granular LTPP and LTPPM test sections are regraded as a good representation of 80% of the sealed road network in Australia
