Supply of Polymer Modified Binders
Austroads Technical Specification ATS 3110 sets out the requirements for the supply of polymer modified binders (PMBs) and crumb rubber modified binders for use in both sprayed sealing and asphalt applications. The technical specification can also…
Water Retention of Concrete – Filtration
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…
Repair of Concrete Cracks
Austroads Technical Specification ATS 5341 sets out the requirements for the repair of cracks in concrete, including supply and quality of materials, surface preparation, application, relevant testing and acceptance criteria. The technical…

The webinar showcases the projects recognised with the Austroads Bridge Awards. The Austroads Bridge Awards acknowledge individuals and organisations that have delivered outstanding bridge structures and design across Australia and New Zealand. The…
Webinar: Austroads Rejuvenator Evaluation Protocol for Increasing Asphalt Recycling
The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new asphalt mixes is a common practice in Australia and New Zealand due to its many benefits. RAP contents are typically about 10&ndash
Chloride Content of Soil
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…
Development of the Austroads Rejuvenator Evaluation Protocol
This report describes research into the development of a draft Austroads evaluation protocol for rejuvenators. Rejuvenators are typically used to produce asphalt mixes containing high levels of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The report includes a…
Selection of the most suitable electrochemical repair technique for rehabilitation of concrete bridges and structures
Transport for NSW (TfNSW) utilises various electrochemical protection systems such as cathodic protection, chloride extraction and re-alkalisation. Whilst the technical merits for re-alkalisation and chloride extraction are proven, there have been…
Mitigating the risk of acidification in reinforced concrete bridge impressed current cathodic protection systems
One of the main remedial treatments for reinforced concrete structures such as bridges in marine environments is impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP). Many ICCP systems in marine environments have manifested backfill mortar deterioration due…
