Development of a Binder Test to Rank the Low Temperature Cracking Resistance of Polymer Modified Binders

The current Australian polymer modified binder (PMB) specification includes low temperature stiffness tests but does not include a binder test which ranks the resistance of PMBs to low temperature cracking on the road. This study investigated…

Development of a Durability Test Method for Sprayed Sealing Binders: A Field Validation Study

This report presents the results of a field validation 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.

The field validation study of the new…

A Common Data Output Specification for Texture, Cracking, Strength and Skid Resistance

The report documents the development of a harmonised approach to road condition data management by Austroads member agencies.

It outlines the results of consultation with member agencies which considered principles, methods, specifications and their…

Transport and Handling of Polymer Modified Binders
This Pavement Work Tip outlines the key requirements for transporting and handling Polymer Modified Binders (PMBs). It is a summary of procedures described in greater detail in AAPA guidelines.
