Relationship with Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 7 (2010)

The Department of Transport and Main Roads has, in principle, agreed to adopt the standards
published in the Austroads Guide to Road Design (2010) Part 7: Geotechnical Investigation and
Design.
When reference is made to other parts of the Austroads Guide to Road Design or the Austroads Guide
to Traffic Management, the reader should also refer to Transport and Main Roads related manuals:
Road Planning and Design Manual
Traffic and Road Use Management Manual.
Where a section does not appear in the body of this supplement, the Austroads Guide to Road Design
Part 7 criteria is accepted unamended.
This supplement:
has precedence over the Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 7 when applied in
Queensland
details additional requirements, including accepted with amendments (additions or

differences), new or not accepted.
has the same structure (section numbering, headings and contents) as Austroads Guide to
Road Design Part 7.
The following table summarises the relationship between the Austroads Guide to Road Design - Part 7
and this supplement using the following criteria:

Scope of this part of the Guide to Road Design
Additions
The Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 7 Geotechnical Investigation and Design provides
general details regarding geotechnical investigations and how road design outcomes and other design
activities are influenced by site conditions, associated ground response, geological hazards and
locally available materials. The Department of Transport and Main Roads Geotechnical Design
Standard Minimum Requirements, defines the minimum geotechnical requirements which shall be
met for all projects throughout Queensland.
