Use of Road-grade Recycled Plastics for Sustainable Asphalt Pavements: Towards the Selection of Road-grade Plastics – An Evaluation Framework and Preliminary Experimental Results
This report provides a comprehensive overview of the initial development of various testing frameworks for the characterisation of road-grade recycled plastic, the incorporation of recycled plastics in bitumen and asphalt via various methods (wet,…
Gyratory Compactor Test Method
This document describes the procedures to be followed for compacting asphalt specimens using a gyratory compactor.
Alkali-Silica Reactivity of Aggregate - Concrete Prism Test
This Test Method determines the susceptibility of aggregate to an expansive reaction when mixed with cement in a concrete mix. It measures the change in length of concrete prisms containing the aggregate under investigation. This Test Method is not…
Alkali-Silica Reactivity of Aggregate – Accelerated Mortar Bar Test
This Test Method determines the susceptibility of aggregate to an expansive reaction when mixed with cement in a concrete mix. It measures the change in length of representative mortar bars containing the aggregate under investigation during storage…
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.
Relationships Between Cutter Oil Properties and Sprayed Seal Performance
This study investigated the relationship between cutter oil properties and sprayed seal performance so that this information could be used as a basis for updating Australian Standard 3568. AS 3568 specifies the properties of four different types of…
Properties of General-purpose Cement with Increased Percentages of Limestone
This report presents the results of a research project commissioned by Austroads to investigate whether the currently used Australian general-purpose (GP) cement which complies with AS 3972, and which may contain up to 7.5% limestone as a mineral…
