This report documents a project to develop a new laboratory fatigue relationship to predict the performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. The project focused on extensive laboratory experiments including indirect tensile testing and…

This Pavement Work Tip provides guidance on the characteristics of bituminous surfacing treatments, including user performance requirements.

This Pavement Work Tip details the production and paving of EME2, a high modulus asphalt produced with a very hard paving grade bitumen and a high binder content.

Austroads has published two technical reports drawing together the research underpinning changes made to key components of the Guide to Pavement Technology. The reports detail the technical basis for changes made to 

This Pavement Work Tip provides a guide to the light application of bituminous binder to an existing asphalt or spray seal surface to increase the binder level on the surface and prevent aggregate loss.

This report documents the technical basis of the 2010, 2012 and 2017 editions of Austroads&rsquo

Flexible granular pavements protected by sprayed seal surfacings are the backbone of the Australian and New Zealand road networks. Road agencies in Australia and New Zealand have therefore been focused on producing quality, long-lasting sprayed seal…

This report presents the findings of site inspections and binder ageing performance studies associated with two Austroads sprayed seal trial sites constructed near Coober Pedy, South Australia and Cooma, New South Wales. These trials were…

This webinar, presented by Robert Urquhart on 11 August 2020, gives an overview of an Austroads project which provided expert technical input into the update of four Australian standards which were revised by the Standards Australia Technical…

Austroads Technical Specification ATS 3480 sets out the requirements for the following treatments to the surface of bituminous pavements: improving the surface texture of sprayed seals by removing excess binder (&lsquo
