  • Deterioration Modelling of Granular Pavements for Rural Arterial Roads
    DETERIORATION MODELLING OF GRANULAR PAVEMENTS FOR RURAL ARTERIAL ROADS By Nahla Hussein Aswad Alaswadko Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia December 2016 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT To keep any network in service at an acceptable condition and maintain and preserve the network performance, the management system can be enhanced by models for predicting pavement conditions. Investigation into maintenance and rehabilitation of rural arterial roads is triggered when road condition reaches certain threshold levels of roughness, rutting and cracking. To assist road agencies in their long term planning, the aim of this research project is to develop powerful deterioration models for a rural arterial network, using novel approaches for data preparation and modelling. The reliability and usefulness of such models in a pavement management system stem from using accurate datasets with suitable modelling approaches. Therefore, the study’s main goal is to use a new approach for preparing accurate condition data to use in developing pavement deterioration models utilising a new modelling approach. Pavement condition parameters modelled herein, include surface roughness, rutting and cracking. To achieve the aim of this study, representative samples of highways from Victoria’s spray sealed rural network are considered. The selected sample network is from 40 highways with a combined length of more than 2,300 km. The network covers a large sample size with representative ranges of traffic loading, pavement strength, subgrade soil type and environmental factors for four road classes (M, A, B and C) which differ in quality and function.

  • Edward M. Curr and the Tide of History
    5. Decline and Fall In Recollections of Squatting in Victoria Edward M. Curr gives only a vague explanation for his leaving Victoria in February 1851, noting that he was ‘desirous of a change’ and wanted to travel through some of the countries ‘about which I had interested myself from boyhood’.1 There seems little doubt, however, that his father’s death three months earlier was a major catalyst in his decision; for a decade he had worked at the behest of his overbearing father, but was now free to pursue his own interests. Before he departed, arrangements were made regarding the runs he and his brothers had inherited. Richard Curr leased the southern squatting runs from his brothers and based himself at the Colbinabbin station. The northern runs (including Tongala) were let to a Mr Hodgson, although it appears that one or more of the younger Curr brothers might have assisted him with station management.2 Meanwhile, Edward, Charles and Walter departed the colony only a few months before the discovery of gold threw the pastoral industry into turmoil. Curr’s younger sister Florence recorded in a memoir that Richard established a home for his mother and younger siblings at Colbinabbin. As the closest station to Melbourne, Colbinabbin had occasionally been a winter residence for the wider Curr family. Richard’s principal challenge was maintaining his labour force, as the station was only 40 miles from the Bendigo goldfields. Eleven-year-old Florence later recalled that she had a marvellous time at Colbinabbin, blissfully unaffected by ‘the troubles of Richard in finding and still more in keeping shepherds’.3 The labour shortage is the principal reason why Richard, in consultation with his mother, decided to sell the squatting runs in 1852.

  • A Station Formed at Tongala’
    3. ‘A Station Formed at Tongala’ In July 1841 Edward M. Curr arrived at his new 50-square-mile squatting run, which he named ‘Tongala’. He later recalled the derivation of his station name: ‘The name was not by any means an apt one, as it is the Bangerang name for the River Murray.’ Tongala in fact straddled the Goulburn River; Curr set up his station headquarters on the river’s southern bank, about eight miles from its confluence with the Murray. He did not record the reason for his inappropriate usage of the name; it might have been the result of a misunderstanding, or perhaps Curr chose it for its aesthetic value, as he later opined that Aboriginal words were ‘frequently very euphonious’. When researching Aboriginal vocabularies several decades later, Curr noticed that many Aboriginal names had been ‘retained by the whites’, but noted their generally ‘mutilated condition’.1 At Tongala Curr encountered for the first time the Indigenous people who are the ancestors of the Yorta Yorta claimant group. According to Curr’s classification, his squatting run encompassed the traditional land of at least two clans: the Towroonban lived predominantly on the sandhills between the Goulburn and Murray rivers, while the more numerous Wongatpan congregated further north in the region known as the Moira. As Curr described it, these two clans constituted the true ‘Bangerang’ tribe, although they belonged to a wider tribal federation linked by language. Curr described various other related clans in surrounding areas, with which he was less familiar, including the Wollithiga, Kailtheban, Boongātpan, Pikkolātpan, Angōōtheraban, Ngarrimōwro, Moītheriban and Toolinyāgan.
