Taking Representative Samples of Bituminous Binders From Road Tankers from Sampling Points Only
This work tip provides guidance on binder sampling to ensure that consistent and reliably representative samples are obtained so that any test results: represent, as near as practicable, an average of a consignment or batch
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.
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.
Austroads Members Environment and Sustainability Initiatives Stocktake 2023
Austroads member agencies are actively addressing greenhouse gas emissions and other key environmental issues. This table summarises environmental and sustainability initiatives in place across Australia and New Zealand in 2023. Lighter shaded cells…
Webinar: Austroads Project Pipeline 2023-24
This webinar is beneficial to consultants who may be interested in tendering for Austroads projects. The session covers new Austroads projects lined up for the 2023-24 financial year, Austroads process around research data collection and what is…
Seminar: Improving Resilience in Transport Infrastructure – Future Proofing, Shared Experiences and Essential Tips
Austroads and the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) presented a joint seminar on 8 February 2023 showcasing Queensland's transport infrastructure resilience and response to weather events. The event provided a platform for all…
Webinar: Sustainable Road Tunnels
Road tunnels are an important element of the transport infrastructure, requiring significant resources and energy to construct, operate and maintain. Consequently, they are potentially a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental…
Handling Viscosity of Polymer Modified Binders (Brookfield Thermosel)
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the apparent viscosity of PMBs at temperatures above 100°C, using the Brookfield Thermosel rotational viscometer.
Method of Sampling Polymer Modified Binders, Polymers and Crumb Rubber
This test method applies to polymer modified binders, polymers and crumb rubber.Materials are sampled according to this protocol to ensure that correct sampling procedures are followed and that test results provide the required information on…
