Deformation Resistance of Asphalt Mixtures by the Wheel Tracking Test
This document describes the procedures to be followed to test an asphalt specimen using a wheel tracking test device. The procedures can be carried out on prismatic specimens that have been manufactured in the laboratory, cut from an existing…
Verification Procedures for a Wheel Tracking Test Device
This document describes the procedures to verify that a wheel tracking test device complies with the requirements of those devices permitted for use in Austroads test method ATM 231. The procedures are advisory rather than mandatory and reference…
Characterisation of Flexural Stiffness and Fatigue Performance of Bituminous Mixes
The test method specifies procedures for the characterisation of the stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures using a four point bending test configuration. The test procedure to characterise the complex modulus is contained in Section…
Cone Penetration of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the cone penetration of a joint sealant at 25 
Flow Properties of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the resistance of hot poured joint sealants to flow at a temperature of 70 °
Preparation of Hot Poured Joint Sealant for Laboratory Testing
This test method sets out the procedure to be used to prepare joint sealant samples for testing.
Heat Degradation of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the degree to which a joint sealant is degraded by heat during prolonged storage (6 
Laboratory Assessment of Asphalt Permeability
The test method outlines the procedure for determining the permeability of a water-saturated asphalt specimen in the laboratory using the ponding method. The test method was primarily developed for dense-graded, stone mastic and gap-graded asphalt…
