Verification Procedure for the Four-point Bending Test
The characterisation of the flexural stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures in Australia and New Zealand is undertaken using a four-point bending (4PB) configuration. This document describes the procedures to be followed to verify…
Stripping Potential of Asphalt – Tensile Strength Ratio
This test method sets out procedures for the preparation of asphalt specimens and measuring the change in indirect tensile strength resulting from the effects of moisture and freeze/thaw conditioning. The results can be used to assess the propensity…
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…
Gyratory Compactor Test Method
This document describes the procedures to be followed for compacting asphalt specimens using a gyratory compactor.
Webinar: Engineering Guideline to Bridge Asset Management
The Engineering Guideline to Bridge Asset Management was developed to provide specific asset management guidance for road bridges. The guideline promotes an engineering approach (engineering principles, knowledge, experience and modelling tools) as…
Engineering Guideline to Bridge Asset Management
Asset management is defined by ISO 55000 (2014) as &lsquo
Webinar: Improved Guidance on Interrupted Traffic Flow Theory
Austroads has recently completed a project to review and propose improvements to the guidance on interrupted traffic flow theory contained within the Austroads Guide to Traffic Management (AGTM), Part 2 and Part 3. The updates will broaden…
Improved Guidance on Interrupted Traffic Flow Theory
This report summarises activities undertaken to update guidance on interrupted traffic flow theory contained within Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 2 and Part 3. The updates to the guidance will enable practitioners to improve their…
Webinar: Standards Australia – Bitumen and Related Materials for Roads
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…
Stripping of Aggregate from Sprayed Seals
This method sets out the procedure for determining the degree of stripping of a single coat sprayed seal with a nominal aggregate size of 10 mm or larger.
