Foaming of bitumen permits the bitumen to be evenly distributed throughout a soil or a granular material. It is critical for the bitumen to remain as viable foam for a period to enable it to be successfully blended into the host material.

This method describes the procedure for the laboratory determination of the resilient modulus of test cylinders of foamed bitumen stabilised mixes using repeat load indirect tensile techniques.

This method describes the procedure for adding foamed bitumen to a granular material to produce foamed bitumen stabilised material. The method is applicable to materials with a maximum nominal particle size of 40 mm (i.e. 100% passing the 37.5 mm…

This method describes the procedure for compacting cylindrical test specimens suitable for use in the determination of physical properties. The method is applicable to materials with a maximum nominal particle size of 40 mm (i.e. 100% passing the 37.…

Australia has regularly reviewed access to the road and bridge network with a view to increasing transport productivity. The current access regime for heavy vehicles has evolved over time with access now controlled by a range of regulations, notices,…

Currently there is pressure from the freight industry to allow higher performance freight vehicles (HPFV) the use of major transport routes, particularly between the major centres of Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. An initial review of the existing…

The exponential rise of the population and freight load in Victoria have led to a strong need for the upgrade of existing infrastructure to accommodate the increase in demand and loads of high productivity heavy vehicles. In many instances,…
