Determining the Foaming Characteristics of Bitumen
Foaming of bitumen permits the bitumen to be evenly distributed throughout a soil or a granular material. It is critical for the bitumen to remain as viable foam for a period to enable it to be successfully blended into the host material.
Resilient Modulus of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Materials
This method describes the procedure for the laboratory determination of the resilient modulus of test cylinders of foamed bitumen stabilised mixes using repeat load indirect tensile techniques.
Mixing of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Materials
This method describes the procedure for adding foamed bitumen to a granular material to produce foamed bitumen stabilised material. The method is applicable to materials with a maximum nominal particle size of 40 mm (i.e. 100% passing the 37.5 mm…
Compaction of Test Cylinders of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Materials Part 1: Dynamic Compaction using Marshall Drop Hammer
This method describes the procedure for compacting cylindrical test specimens suitable for use in the determination of physical properties. The method is applicable to materials with a maximum nominal particle size of 40 mm (i.e. 100% passing the 37.…
Long-term Ageing Resistance of Bitumen using the Pressure Ageing Vessel (PAV) and the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)
This test method sets out the procedures for the ageing treatment of bitumen samples under specific conditions using the Pressure Ageing Vessel (PAV), and also the determination of the complex viscosity of treated samples under specific conditions…
Pavement Crack Measurement with an Automated Crack Detection System
This test method defines the procedure for locating and identifying surface cracks in a road pavement using an automated crack detection system.
Pavement Data Collection with a Traffic Speed Deflectometer (TSD) Device
This test method defines the procedure for measuring the deflection velocity of road pavements using a traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) device.
Validation of a Laser Profilometer for Measuring Pavement Surface Texture (Reference Device Method)
This test method defines the procedure for performing validation checks of the measurements of pavement surface macro-texture determined using a laser profilometer, by comparing them to the measurements from a static or manual reference device.
