Effects of Hot Storage on Polymer Modified Binder Properties and Field Performance

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…

Post-ageing Characterisation of Sprayed Sealing Binders: A Laboratory Study

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…

Polymer Modified Binders and Multigrade Bitumens
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.
Mix Design for Stabilised Pavement Materials
This report provides mix design flow charts for stabilised materials using lime, cementitious and bituminous binders. The mix design is based on laboratory characterisation using state-of-the-art approaches used by State Road Authorities, local…
Guidelines to Economic Assessment of On-Road Parking on Traffic Flow
Austroads commissioned ARRB Transport Research in 1998 to undertake an investigation into the economic evaluation of kerb-lane space. The resulting model, ParkLane v1.0, was the first significant attempt at developing a tool to understand on-road…
