There is a need to improve the Austroads procedures for mix design and structural design of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. This final report summarises the mix design test methods developed within the context of an Austroads mix design…

Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4F: Bituminous Bindersprovides guidance on the use of bituminous materials in road construction and maintenance. Bituminous materials include bitumen obtained from refining crude petroleum oil and products derived…

This test method defines the procedure for locating and identifying surface cracks in a road pavement using an automated crack detection system.

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the deflection velocity of road pavements using a traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) device.

This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level automatic crack detection.

This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement deflection testing using a traffic speed deflectometer (TSD).

This report describes a literature review on the bitumen/binder specifications and test methods used in Australasia, USA, Europe and South Africa. The project investigated whether the Australian and New Zealand bitumen specifications are adequately…

This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement roughness measurement using an inertial profilometer.

This test method defines the procedure for performing validation checks of the measurements of pavement surface macro-texture determined using a laser profilometer, by comparing them to the measurements from a static or manual reference device.
