Austroads Test Methods and Specifications
This document provides a hyperlinked list of the Austroads Test Methods and Specifications.
Extractions of Bituminous Binder from Asphalt
This method has been developed for extracting bituminous binders from bituminous mixtures i.e. asphalt field samples, loose plant mix or reclaimed asphalt pavement.
Modified Surface Texture Depth (Pestle Method)
This method describes the procedure for the determination of the surface texture depth of road surfaces, by the sand patch technique. This method is only applicable to surface texture depths greater than 0.3 mm. This method was developed from BS…
Characterisation of the Viscosity of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Binder Using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)
The test method sets out the procedure for the determination of viscosity of binders recovered from RAP source materials, as well as of virgin binders and rejuvenators.
Webinar: Austroads Vehicle Classification Scheme – Measuring Active Transport
Austroads has developed an extended vehicle classification scheme (EVCS) to enable improved understanding and monitoring of the evolving vehicle mix on Australian and New Zealand roads in traffic and transport surveys. This builds upon the existing…
Webinar: Austroads Vehicle Classification Scheme – Light Vehicles
Austroads has developed an extended vehicle classification scheme (EVCS) to enable improved understanding and monitoring of the evolving vehicle mix on Australian and New Zealand roads in traffic and transport surveys. This builds upon the existing…
Webinar: Austroads Vehicle Classification Scheme – Heavy Vehicles
Austroads has developed an extended vehicle classification scheme (EVCS) to enable improved understanding and monitoring of the evolving vehicle mix on Australian and New Zealand roads in traffic and transport surveys. This builds upon the existing…
Austroads Extended Vehicle Classification Scheme for Traffic and Transport Surveys
Austroads extended vehicle classification scheme builds on the influential 1994 scheme. The extended scheme provides greater granularity across the 12 classes in the 1994 scheme. It also provides a new classes for: active transport to address the…
Background to the Extended Austroads Vehicle Classification Scheme for Traffic and Transport Surveys
Safe, efficient and sustainable road transport relies on the accurate classification and identification of vehicles operating on our road networks. Accurate vehicle surveys support the planning and management of road assets and the regulation of…
Deformation Resistance of Asphalt Mixtures by the Wheel Tracking Test
This document describes the procedures to be followed to test an asphalt specimen using a wheel tracking test device. The procedures can be carried out on prismatic specimens that have been manufactured in the laboratory, cut from an existing…
