This webinar, presented on 31 October 2018, provides an overview of the key changes to the Guide to Pavement Technology Parts 4F and 4K, and the significant advances in the areas of binder specifications and sprayed seal design.

The Australian polymer modified binder (PMB) specification (AGPT/T190) currently requires different binder grades to be used in sprayed sealing and asphalt applications. This study compared the performance of PMBs representing four AGPT/T190 grades…

This report identifies factors that contribute to the occurrence and severity of crashes adjacent to and within tunnels and suggests remedial treatments that will reduce the incidence and severity of these crashes.

Polymer modified binders (PMBs) are increasingly used in road construction as they provide enhanced performance properties compared with conventional bitumen. Even though PMBs show enhanced service properties, they may show degradation or changes in…

This report presents the results of a laboratory study that was conducted as part of the development of a new-long term ageing (durability) test for bituminous binders used in sprayed seals in Australia.

Among the number of test methods reviewed and…

The Australian National Risk Assessment Model (ANRAM) helps road agencies identify fatal and serious injury (severe) crash risk across all parts of the road network. ANRAM helps road agencies manage this risk through development of treatment…

This Pavement Work Tip provides a handy summary of the Austroads AP-T235-13 Guide to the Selection and use of Polymer Modified Binders and Multigrade Bitumens.

This report collates research into factors contributing to the incidence and severity of run-off-road and head-on collisions on urban roads in Australia and New Zealand. It also identifies possible measures to reduce the incidence and severity of…
