Deformation Resistance of Asphalt Mixtures by the Wheel Tracking Test
This document describes the procedures to be followed to test an asphalt specimen using a wheel tracking test device. The procedures can be carried out on prismatic specimens that have been manufactured in the laboratory, cut from an existing…
Verification Procedures for a Wheel Tracking Test Device
This document describes the procedures to verify that a wheel tracking test device complies with the requirements of those devices permitted for use in Austroads test method ATM 231. The procedures are advisory rather than mandatory and reference…
Characterisation of Flexural Stiffness and Fatigue Performance of Bituminous Mixes
The test method specifies procedures for the characterisation of the stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures using a four point bending test configuration. The test procedure to characterise the complex modulus is contained in Section…
Webinar: Austroads National Harmonisation of Temporary Traffic Management Practice – Update
In this webinar, Chris Koniditsiotis, Lead Implementation Consultant and Patsy Thomas, National Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) Operations Manager provide an update on the implementation and operational commencement of the Austroads National…
Webinar: Standards Australia – Bitumen and Related Materials for Roads
In Australia and New Zealand, bituminous binders used in road construction are tested prior to use to ensure they will perform satisfactorily during road construction/maintenance. Some of the Australian Standards that are used for these tests have…
Cone Penetration of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the cone penetration of a joint sealant at 25 
Flow Properties of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the resistance of hot poured joint sealants to flow at a temperature of 70 °
Preparation of Hot Poured Joint Sealant for Laboratory Testing
This test method sets out the procedure to be used to prepare joint sealant samples for testing.
Heat Degradation of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the degree to which a joint sealant is degraded by heat during prolonged storage (6 
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…
