Future Availability and Assessment of Alternative Surfacing Binders

Bitumen, an important component used in road construction in Australia and New Zealand, is manufactured from a finite, non-renewable crude oil resource. A number of commercially available alternative binders and bitumen extended binders have been…

Segregation and Degradation in Commercial SBS Binders

This study obtained an indication of the proportion of Australian commercially manufactured polymer modified binders (PMBs) liable to segregate, identifed suitable tests to measure segregation propensity and proposes measures to help prevent or…

Improved Distress Viscosity Model for Reseal Intervention
An existing model predicted binder life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters, binder durability (resistance to hardening) and seal…
