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.
Water Retention of Concrete – Filtration
This test method is used to measure the ability of a concrete with a maximum coarse aggregate size of 20 mm or less to retain its water under pressure. This test determines the amount of water de-filtered when concrete is subjected to a certain…
Supply of Special Class Concrete
Austroads Technical Specification ATS 5315 sets out the requirements for the supply of Special Class Concrete used in: bridges with a design life of 100 years
Repair of Concrete Cracks
Austroads Technical Specification ATS 5341 sets out the requirements for the repair of cracks in concrete, including supply and quality of materials, surface preparation, application, relevant testing and acceptance criteria. The technical…
Coring of Hardened Concrete
Austroads Technical Specification ATS 5317 sets out the requirements for the coring of hardened concrete for the purpose of assessing the in-situ concrete properties, including compressive strength, volume of permeable voids and density. It does not…
Code of Practice for the Management of Alkali Aggregate Reactivity Template
The Code of Practice for the Management of Alkali Aggregate Reactivity template has been developed for the use of Austroads member agencies. The document outlines the management strategies, testing and approval process required to regulate alkali…
Webinar: Assessing Waste Material in Road Surfacings
Governments, transport agencies, and industry have identified the need to reduce waste going to landfill and increase the use of recycled materials to achieve more sustainable development and improve outcomes for communities. The latest update to…
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.
