Webinar: Guide to Project Delivery Part 5: Road Construction Quality Assurance
This webinar, presented on 20 September 2018, provides an overview of the first edition of Austroads Guide to Project Delivery Part 5: Road Construction Quality Assurance.
Stress Ratio of Bituminous Binders using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer
This test method sets out the procedures for the measurement of the stress ratio of binder samples under specific conditions using the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). A major failure mode of sprayed seals and asphalt pavements is fatigue cracking of…
Guide to Project Delivery Part 5: Road Construction Quality Assurance
Many of the shortcomings experienced in quality assured contracts reflect the way in which road agency requirements have been specified and administered. Emphasis has been placed on third party accredited quality systems, and not on the fundamentals…
Long-term Ageing Resistance of Bitumen using the Pressure Ageing Vessel (PAV) and the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)
This test method sets out the procedures for the ageing treatment of bitumen samples under specific conditions using the Pressure Ageing Vessel (PAV), and also the determination of the complex viscosity of treated samples under specific conditions…
Force Ratio of Polymer Modified Binders (ARRB Extensiometer)
This test method sets out the procedures for the determination of the force ratio and toughness of bitumen and PMBs under specific conditions of deformation using the ARRB extensiometer.
Design of Bituminous Binder Blends to a Specified Viscosity Value
This test method provides a guideline for the design of a blend of RAP binder, virgin binder, and/or rejuvenating agent to a target viscosity.
Shear Properties of Polymer Modified Binders (ARRB ELASTOMETER)
This test method sets out the procedures for the determination of consistency, consistency 6%, stiffness and elastic recovery of polymer modified binders (ARRB elastometer), under specific conditions of deformation, using the elastometer developed…
National Prequalification System for Civil (Road and Bridge) Construction Contracts
The National Prequalification System for Civil (Road and Bridge) Construction Contracts has been developed to consolidate the various jurisdiction specific systems previously in place into a seamless, harmonised framework for applications,…
Particle Size and Properties of Crumb Rubber
This method describes a procedure for determining the particle size, shape and contaminants of crumb rubber.
Softening Point of Polymer Modified Binders
This test method sets out the procedure for determination of the softening point of polymer modified binders.
