Taking Representative Samples of Bituminous Binders From Road Tankers from Sampling Points Only
This work tip provides guidance on binder sampling to ensure that consistent and reliably representative samples are obtained so that any test results: represent, as near as practicable, an average of a consignment or batch
Production and Paving of EME2
This Pavement Work Tip details the production and paving of EME2, a high modulus asphalt produced with a very hard paving grade bitumen and a high binder content.
Sprayed Sealing – Surface Enrichment
This Pavement Work Tip provides a guide to the light application of bituminous binder to an existing asphalt or spray seal surface to increase the binder level on the surface and prevent aggregate loss.
Sprayed Sealing - Initial Treatment of Stabilised Pavements
This Pavement Work Tip provides a guide to the use of priming and primersealing as initial treatments on stabilised pavements.
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.
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.
Sprayed Sealing: Cutting Back of Polymer Modified Binders
This Pavement Work Tip is a guide to the use of cutter oils in hot PMB binders used in sprayed sealing work.
Asphalt Riding Quality
