This method sets out the procedure for assessing aggregate shape as a ratio of Average Greatest Dimension to Average Least Dimension. This test method can also be downloaded as a 

This test method describes the procedure for establishing sampling locations, sampling intervals or test locations within a lot, which has been defined in terms of mass, volume, perimeter or batches. The method contains procedures which allow…

This test method is used to measure the ability of a concrete with a maximum coarse aggregate size of 20 mm or less to retain its water under pressure. This test determines the amount of water de-filtered when concrete is subjected to a certain…

Austroads test method 710 describes the procedure for determining the chloride content of select backfill material intended for use in reinforced earth structures. Chloride content is determined by water extraction and titrimetric analysis of the…

This Test Method determines the susceptibility of aggregate to an expansive reaction when mixed with cement in a concrete mix. It measures the change in length of concrete prisms containing the aggregate under investigation. This Test Method is not…

This Test Method determines the susceptibility of aggregate to an expansive reaction when mixed with cement in a concrete mix. It measures the change in length of representative mortar bars containing the aggregate under investigation during storage…

This test method determines the performance of anti-graffiti coatings and is based on Main Roads Western Australia Testing Method for Anti-Graffiti Coatings 6706-02-2238. This Test Method assesses the following properties: ease of removing graffiti…

This method has been prepared as a complementary or alternative test to the repeated load triaxial (RLT) test for assessing the permanent deformation performance of granular material Wheel-tracking (as compared to RLT) better represents in-service…

This method covers the determination of both the permanent deformation and resilient modulus of unbound pavement materials with a maximum particle size not exceeding 19 mm using repeated load triaxial equipment incorporating, static confining…
