Austroads Test Methods and Specifications
This document provides a hyperlinked list of the Austroads Test Methods and Specifications.
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…
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…
Mitigating the risk of acidification in reinforced concrete bridge impressed current cathodic protection systems
One of the main remedial treatments for reinforced concrete structures such as bridges in marine environments is impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP). Many ICCP systems in marine environments have manifested backfill mortar deterioration due…
Innovative Incrementally Launched U-Trough Girder Viaduct for Challenging Site
The innovative Viaduct over Muscle Creek and Hunter River with an overall length of 178.4m comprises four spans of 45.7m by 50m by 50m by 29.7m and 1.5m length beyond the bearings at each abutment, to suit a challenging and restrictive site. The…
The design of asymmetric continuous twin U-trough rail viaduct with hybrid pre-stressing
Whiteman Park Viaduct is part of the new 21 km Morley-Ellenbrook Rail Line (MEL) from Bayswater to Ellenbrook, in the Perth Metropolitan area in Western Australia. The viaduct is required to elevate MEL at the Whiteman Park Station precinct to allow…
Longest weathering steel arch in Australia to carry light rail on the Parramatta Light Rail
Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1 project includes James Ruse Underbridge which carries two light rail tracks and a 3.75 m wide shared user path across James Ruse Drive. To clear this busy road and a future planned widening, a single span of 64 m…
