Austroads Test Methods and Specifications
This document provides a hyperlinked list of the Austroads Test Methods and Specifications.
Extractions of Bituminous Binder from Asphalt
This method has been developed for extracting bituminous binders from bituminous mixtures i.e. asphalt field samples, loose plant mix or reclaimed asphalt pavement.
Modified Surface Texture Depth (Pestle Method)
This method describes the procedure for the determination of the surface texture depth of road surfaces, by the sand patch technique. This method is only applicable to surface texture depths greater than 0.3 mm. This method was developed from BS…
Characterisation of the Viscosity of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Binder Using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)
The test method sets out the procedure for the determination of viscosity of binders recovered from RAP source materials, as well as of virgin binders and rejuvenators.
Deformation Resistance of Asphalt Mixtures by the Wheel Tracking Test
This document describes the procedures to be followed to test an asphalt specimen using a wheel tracking test device. The procedures can be carried out on prismatic specimens that have been manufactured in the laboratory, cut from an existing…
Verification Procedures for a Wheel Tracking Test Device
This document describes the procedures to verify that a wheel tracking test device complies with the requirements of those devices permitted for use in Austroads test method ATM 231. The procedures are advisory rather than mandatory and reference…
Characterisation of Flexural Stiffness and Fatigue Performance of Bituminous Mixes
The test method specifies procedures for the characterisation of the stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures using a four point bending test configuration. The test procedure to characterise the complex modulus is contained in Section…
Webinar: 2022 Winners of the Austroads Bridge Awards
The webinar showcases the projects recognised with the Austroads Bridge Awards. The Austroads Bridge Awards acknowledge individuals and organisations that have delivered outstanding bridge structures and design across Australia and New Zealand. The…
Existing Ballasted Rail Bridge Assessment - Benefits of a Rail Structure Interaction Analysis
A load rating was undertaken as part of the asset owners regular periodic load rating on a 139 m total length, 12-span bridge carrying a single ballasted rail track on curved horizontal and vertical alignment originally constructed in 1996. The…
Strengthening Bridges of the West Gate Tunnel Project
In addition to providing the southern hemisphere's largest-diameter tunnel as an alternative major Yarra River crossing to ease congestion on the 50-year-old West Gate Bridge, the West Gate Tunnel Project is also one of Australia's largest bridge…
