This test method sets out the procedure for assessing the degree of absorption of a primer or primerbinder by a given road gravel in bituminous surfacing work.

Microsimulation traffic models (MSTMs) have in recent years become accepted as useful tools amongst road and transport authorities to analyse and identify solutions for traffic and transport planning. The synergy between information technologies and…

This test method details the requirements for determining the flexural stiffness, phase angle, dissipated energy per cycle, cycles to failure and cumulative dissipated energy at failure of asphalt subjected to repeated flexure by cyclical four-point…

This method sets out recommended procedures for mixing, compacting, conditioning and trimming asphalt to provide homogeneous specimens suitable for wheel track testing, beam flexure testing, resilient modulus testing and other asphalt…

This test method sets out the procedures for determining particle loss (abrasion) from laboratory prepared specimens of open graded asphalt. The test may be performed on dry samples or after period of moisture conditioning.

This method details the determination of the binder content of asphalt mixes by ignition at a temperature of not less than 540°C and the subsequent determination of the particle size distribution by sieve analysis.

This test method sets out the calculation procedures for the determination of a Binder Film Index. The test is applicable to all types of asphalt.

This report describes the results of a review of international literature undertaken in 2002 on the evaluation and application of intermittent overtaking lanes on two-way roads in rural traffic environments. This report also contains a comprehensive…

Asphalt characterisation tests require equipment that is well maintained and correctly adjusted. The procedures described in this document will provide a means of verifying that a Gyropac gyratory compactor is in a suitable working condition to…

This document has been prepared by Austroads as a guide to the preparation and assessment of validation studies of traffic noise prediction models, and represents the final outcome of a project with the following key objectives: - the development of…
