This webinar, presented on 31 October 2018, provides an overview of the key changes to the Guide to Pavement Technology Parts 4F and 4K, and the significant advances in the areas of binder specifications and sprayed seal design.

There is a need to improve the Austroads procedures for mix design and structural design of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. This final report summarises the mix design test methods developed within the context of an Austroads mix design…

This webinar, presented on 14 June 2018, provides an overview of the updated Austroads microsurfacing guidelines and model specification. It covers: major changes to the microsurfacing guidelines and specifications related test methods materials and…

Guidelines and Specification for Microsurfacing provides guidelines for the use of microsurfacing treatments in Australia. Microsurfacing is presently the only type of bituminous slurry surfacing applied in Australia. The document was produced by…

This protocol specifies the method for sampling bituminous slurry mixture from the slurry paving unit at the paving site.

This test method sets out the procedure to evaluate the wearing resistance of bituminous slurry surfacing materials under wet abrasion conditions.

This test method sets out the procedure to evaluate bituminous slurry materials for their propensity for binder flushing after subjecting to loaded wheel tracking cycles.

This test method sets out the method for the determination of the setting and curing characteristics of a bituminous slurry as a function of the cohesive strength developed in the mixture with time.

This test method sets out the procedure to determine the consistency of a bituminous slurry that is then used to optimise the amount of water required to form a workable mixture. This test may not be applicable to certain microsurfacing mixtures due…

This webinar, presented on 9 March 2018, provides an overview of the major changes to the design of heavy-duty flexible pavements, including the new: axle-strain approach central to the mechanistic-empirical design method, definitions of design…
