This document provides a hyperlinked list of the Austroads Test Methods and Specifications.
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
Webinar: Validation of Superpave™ Method of Asphalt Compaction for Australasia
Austroads has completed a project to replace the obsolete gyratory compactors used in design and quality control testing of asphalt mixes and update its Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4B: Asphalt. Austroads asphalt mix design procedure currently…
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…
Webinar: Austroads Vehicle Classification Scheme – Measuring Active Transport
Austroads has developed an extended vehicle classification scheme (EVCS) to enable improved understanding and monitoring of the evolving vehicle mix on Australian and New Zealand roads in traffic and transport surveys. This builds upon the existing…
Webinar: Austroads Vehicle Classification Scheme – Light Vehicles
Austroads has developed an extended vehicle classification scheme (EVCS) to enable improved understanding and monitoring of the evolving vehicle mix on Australian and New Zealand roads in traffic and transport surveys. This builds upon the existing…
Webinar: Austroads Vehicle Classification Scheme – Heavy Vehicles
Austroads has developed an extended vehicle classification scheme (EVCS) to enable improved understanding and monitoring of the evolving vehicle mix on Australian and New Zealand roads in traffic and transport surveys. This builds upon the existing…
Austroads Extended Vehicle Classification Scheme for Traffic and Transport Surveys
Austroads extended vehicle classification scheme builds on the influential 1994 scheme. The extended scheme provides greater granularity across the 12 classes in the 1994 scheme. It also provides a new classes for: active transport to address the…
Background to the Extended Austroads Vehicle Classification Scheme for Traffic and Transport Surveys
Safe, efficient and sustainable road transport relies on the accurate classification and identification of vehicles operating on our road networks. Accurate vehicle surveys support the planning and management of road assets and the regulation of…
Webinar: National Harmonisation of Test Methods Used in Asphalt Performance Specifications
The asphalt industry is rapidly evolving, and it is widely accepted that prescriptive specifications are not necessarily well suited to take full advantage of the benefits that new and innovative technologies can provide. There is therefore a desire…
