Determination of the International Roughness Index (IRI) using ARRB Walking Profiler
The ARRB TR Walking Profiler is pushed over the pavement surface by an operator at a slow walking pace. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the Walking Profiler Instruction Manual published by ARRB Transport Research and/or has a copy…
Determination of Permanent Deformation and Resilient Modulus Characteristics of Unbound Granular Materials Under Drained Conditions
This method covers the determination of both the permanent deformation and resilient modulus of unbound pavement materials with a maximum particle size not exceeding 19 mm using repeated load triaxial equipment incorporating, static confining…
Validation and Repeatability Checks for a Deflectograph
This test method defines the procedures for collecting reference data and for conducting the validation and repeatability checks for deflectograph equipment.
Sample Preparation - Compaction of Asphalt Slabs
This method sets out recommended procedures for mixing, compacting, conditioning and trimming asphalt to provide homogeneous specimens suitable for wheel track testing, beam flexure testing, resilient modulus testing and other asphalt…
Asphalt Particle Loss
This test method sets out the procedures for determining particle loss (abrasion) from laboratory prepared specimens of open graded asphalt. The test may be performed on dry samples or after period of moisture conditioning.
Asphalt Binder Content (Ignition Oven Method)
This method details the determination of the binder content of asphalt mixes by ignition at a temperature of not less than 540°C and the subsequent determination of the particle size distribution by sieve analysis.
Binder Film Index
This test method sets out the calculation procedures for the determination of a Binder Film Index. The test is applicable to all types of asphalt.
Field Calibration of Aggregate Spreaders
This method sets out the procedure for determining the spread rate of cover aggregate delivered from a mechanical aggregate spreader.
Absorption of Bituminous Binder into Aggregate
This method describes the procedure for the determination of the quantity of binder absorbed by an aggregate. The volume of aggregate is determined from its bulk particle density in a saturated surface dry condition. The volume of binder free…
Average Least Dimension of Aggregate by Direct Measurement (Nominal Size 10mm and Greater)
This standard sets out the method for determining the Average Least Dimension (ALD) of aggregate particles by the use of vernier callipers or dial gauge or a slotted gauge. The method is applicable to aggregate of nominal size 10 mm and greater for…
