Higher Order Bridge Assessment in Australia
This report documents the options and methodologies available to conduct higher order assessments of existing bridges which are encouraged by but not currently defined by the new AS 5100.7. This was achieved by investigating the current…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Volumetric Calibration of Bitumen Pumping Systems
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: 
Viscosity of Calibration Fluid
This test method sets out the procedure for validating the calibration fluid. The calibration fluid is used for volumetric calibration of bitumen sprayer pumps (AGPT/T531), and also for two methods of determining transverse distribution of bitumen…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Transverse Distribution by Fixed Pit Facility
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: general introduction and list of methods. It sets out the procedures for determining the transverse distribution of bitumen sprayers, and is based on…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Transverse Distribution by Field Mat
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: general introduction and list of methods. It sets out the procedures for determining the transverse distribution of bitumen sprayers, and is based on…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Transverse Distribution by Portable Trough
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: general introduction and list of methods. It sets out the procedures for determining the transverse distribution of bitumen sprayers, and is based on…
Road Speed and Distance Calibration
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the accuracy of road speed indicators used on bitumen sprayers. The road speed of the bitumen sprayer is used in conjunction with the pump volumetric output to enable bituminous materials to be…
Implementation of a Nationally Consistent Framework for the Assessment of Bridges in Australia
This report extends on the work previously conducted by Austroads in investigating the development and implementation of a national automated bridge assessment framework. The work outlines the ongoing validation works and recommends a set of…
