This Pavement Work Tip provides guidance on the characteristics of bituminous surfacing treatments, including user performance requirements.

This Pavement Work Tip details techniques to ensure that joints in asphalt do not create a point of weakness due to poor compaction and that correct shape and ride quality are maintained.

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.

Asphalt pavements are a major component of the Australian and New Zealand road networks. Road agencies in Australia and New Zealand have been putting great efforts to produce pavements which perform and are long-lasting. This has led to the…

This report describes research work into the development of a new test method utilising the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) to conduct consistency 6% at 60 

Austroads has published two technical reports drawing together the research underpinning changes made to key components of the Guide to Pavement Technology. The reports detail the technical basis for changes made to 

This Work Tip details work practices that help ensure uniformity of Binder Application Rates and neatness of joints in sprayed seals.

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.

This Pavement Work Tip considers traffic distribution and its effect on the suitable location of joints and where the design Binder Application Rates should be varied to allow for the expected traffic volume.
