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.
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.
Handling Viscosity of Polymer Modified Binders (Brookfield Thermosel)
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the apparent viscosity of PMBs at temperatures above 100°C, using the Brookfield Thermosel rotational viscometer.
Method of Sampling Polymer Modified Binders, Polymers and Crumb Rubber
This test method applies to polymer modified binders, polymers and crumb rubber.Materials are sampled according to this protocol to ensure that correct sampling procedures are followed and that test results provide the required information on…
Flash Point of Polymer Modified Binders
This test method sets out the procedure for the determination of the flash point of polymer modified binders (PMBs). This test method is applicable to PMBs used in the construction and maintenance of pavements (as specified in ATS 3110).
Compressive Limit of Polymer Modified Binders
This test method is applicable to all binders that do not have a viscous response at 70°C and at long loading times when confined to film thicknesses in the range 0.1 to 1mm. It is applicable to all modified binders.
Mass Change or Loss on Heating of Polymer Modified Binders after Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO) Treatment
This test method sets out the procedure for the determination of mass change or loss on heating of a polymer modified binder (PMB) due to the effect of heat and air during rolling thin film oven (RTFO) treatment.
Protocol for Handling Modified Binders in Preparation for Laboratory Testing
This method complements AS/NZS 2341.21 by setting out the handling procedures for the testing of modified binders.
Torsional Recovery of Polymer Modified Binders
This test method sets out the procedure for the determination of torsional recovery of polymer modified binders (PMBs) under specific conditions using a simple torsional recovery test apparatus. PMBs are thought to provide benefits due to their…
