Design and Performance of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Pavements: Progress Report 1

This report is the first progress report of a four year project which aims to improve the Austroads procedures for the mix and structural design of foamed bitumen stabilised materials.

The report summarises the test methods drafted to date and…

Future Availability and Assessment of Alternative Surfacing Binders

Bitumen, an important component used in road construction in Australia and New Zealand, is manufactured from a finite, non-renewable crude oil resource. A number of commercially available alternative binders and bitumen extended binders have been…

Guide to the Selection and use of Polymer Modified Binders and Multigrade Bitumens

This document provides a guide to the selection of modified binders including multigrade bitumens for different treatments and service conditions, and to assist in the use and interpretation of the Austroads Specification Framework for Polymer…

Improved Design of Foamed Bituminous Stabilised Pavements

The 2011 Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design includes an interim procedure for the thickness design of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) pavements. This project aimed to validate the interim…

Dust Laying with Bitumen Emulsions
This Pavement Work Tip describes the use of bitumen emulsion for dust laying on unsealed granular pavements to reduce dust nuisance, maintenance costs and loss of pavement material.
Binders Research Program: 2001/2002 Progress Report
Progress towards the development of an integrated specification for Bitumens, Multigrades and Polymer Modified Binders (PMBs) has been achieved by the Austroads Binders project group in 2001/2002. Contributions to this task have been made in the…
