New VICROADS CODE OF PRACTICE
Warning: The Traffic Load Distributions (TLDs) as provided in Appendix B of the Code (versions prior to December 2018) and in the current CIRCLY 7.0 software are incorrect.
A new version of CIRCLY 7.0 that will automatically update the Vicroads TLDs will be issued released in the next few weeks.
Code of Practice. RC 500.22. Selection and design of pavements and surfacings. December 2018.
Vicroads has updated RC 500.22 to reflect changes in Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology – Part 2: Pavement Structural Design (AGPT02-17) (released in December 2017).
If Weigh in Motion data is not available or specified, Traffic Load Distributions (TLDs) as provided in Appendix B of the Code for the appropriate road class shall be used. The 12 TLDs defined in Appendix B are pre-loaded into CIRCLY 7.0, as shown below:
This Code sets down VicRoads procedures for the selection and design of new road pavements and surfacing.
The Code includes important information on Selection of Asphalt Types and typical characteristics of asphalts commonly used by VicRoads.
NEW Queensland Pavement Design Supplement
The July 2018 edition of the supplement replaces the 2017 Pavement Design Supplement. The supplement has been updated primarily to align with the December 2017 version of AGPT02.
The Pavement Design Supplement sets out supplementary and specific requirements for the design of pavements for Main Roads. It includes Main Roads requirements for pavement types, reliability, subgrade assessment, climatic considerations, material characterisation, traffic, design and comparison of designs.
New Zealand guide to pavement structural design updated to latest Austroads Part 2
The 2017 New Zealand Guide to Pavement Structural Design replaces the New Zealand Supplement to the Document, Pavement Design – A guide to the structural design of road Pavements (Austroads 2004) written by Transit in 2007.
This Guide includes additional guidelines for the Engineer in applying the Austroads design procedures resulting from research results and experience gained in New Zealand. The aim is to minimise confusion and promote consistency in design assumptions applied in New Zealand.
This version of the New Zealand guide to pavement structural design is to be used for the design of new pavements.
For rehabilitation refer to the New Zealand guide to pavement evaluation and treatment.
CIRCLY 7.0 gives Reduced Asphalt Thickness for Heavy-Duty Structures
The following graph illustrates the considerable reduction in Asphalt thickness for pavements at higher traffic loads designed with CIRCLY 7.0 (using the Austroads 2017 Design Method), compared to CIRCLY 6.0 (using the Austroads 2004-12 Design Method).
This leads to reduced material and construction costs.

CIRCLY 5.0 Maintenance and Support discontinued
CIRCLY 5.0 Maintenance and Support was discontinued on 1 November 2012. The impact of this date depends on what type of CIRCLY Licence you have:
You should upgrade to CIRCLY 5.1 or CIRCLY 6.0 (at no charge) as this will make sure that you have the most up to date version of the program.
To upgrade to CIRCLY 6.0 contact Mincad Systems.
To upgrade to CIRCLY 5.1:
Download the CIRCLY 5.1 installer from here.
Remember that if you intend to use Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, that you must install CIRCLY 5.1 or CIRCLY 6.0 (CIRCLY 5.0 cannot be used).
If you have a CIRCLY 5.0 Perpetual Licence:
A CIRCLY 5.0 Perpetual Licence allows you to use CIRCLY 5.0 for as long as you want. CIRCLY 5.0 will continue to run on any versions of Windows before Windows 8.
CIRCLY 5.0 will no longer be maintained or supported from 1 November 2012.
You will need to order a CIRCLY Annual Licence to keep receiving maintenance and support (or to use Windows 8 or any future version of Windows). You pay in advance for an Annual Licence. There are no further charges for support and maintenance and you receive major upgrades such as CIRCLY 6.0. The Annual Licence price may increase in future years in line with list prices.
Replacement CIRCLY 5.0 Hardware Locks
Please note: We will continue to replace any CIRCLY 5.0 Hardware Locks at the standard replacement charge (now $475 incl. GST and delivery) for an indefinite period.
CIRCLY and Mechanistic Pavement Design: The Past, Present and Towards the Future
It has been about 40 years since CSIRO released CIRCLY, originally a FORTRAN program for analyzing Layered Elastic Media subject to surface loads. This paper (CIRCLY and Mechanistic Pavement Design: The Past, Present and Towards the Future – Leigh Wardle (2010)) gives an overview of how CIRCLY has evolved – from the first mainframe version, to the current user-friendly Windows-based, version 6.0 as the standard pavement design package used in 35 countries. CIRCLY has closely tracked the Austroads mechanistic flexible pavement design procedure as it has developed.
We now have a number of online recorded demonstrations of the new CIRCLY 5.0 features.
Sample Pavement Design Report (by Graham Foley)
As a service to our clients we are making available a Sample Pavement Design Report written by a specialist pavement engineer, Graham Foley. This report is an example of using the general mechanistic procedure to refine an existing pavement design to give an alternative pavement design. It will be of use to both experienced and less-experienced pavement designers as how to approach and document a mechanistic design.

CIRCLY receives high rating in European Pavement Design Study
Research by the European Economic Community has identified that a standardised European pavement design and maintenance strategy will lead to savings of billions of dollars in construction and maintenance costs. The first step in this standardisation process, the AMADEUS (Advanced Models for Analytical Design of European Pavement Structures) Project, a coordinated European Road Research Program formally commenced in January 1998.
The AMADEUS Project involved a team of 15 national partners (Great Britain, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Denmark, Austria, Spain, Greece, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Iceland, Slovenia, Hungary) and included national highway research institutions, universities and other road research organisations. The project reviewed current pavement design methods and software. CIRCLY was one of the few packages that was capable of being used in all the phases of the project and achieved good ratings in all categories.
