Alkali-Silica Reactivity of Aggregate - Concrete Prism Test
This Test Method determines the susceptibility of aggregate to an expansive reaction when mixed with cement in a concrete mix. It measures the change in length of concrete prisms containing the aggregate under investigation. This Test Method is not…
Alkali-Silica Reactivity of Aggregate – Accelerated Mortar Bar Test
This Test Method determines the susceptibility of aggregate to an expansive reaction when mixed with cement in a concrete mix. It measures the change in length of representative mortar bars containing the aggregate under investigation during storage…
Effectiveness of Anti-Graffiti Coatings
This test method determines the performance of anti-graffiti coatings and is based on Main Roads Western Australia Testing Method for Anti-Graffiti Coatings 6706-02-2238. This Test Method assesses the following properties: ease of removing graffiti…
Stripping of Aggregate from Sprayed Seals
This method sets out the procedure for determining the degree of stripping of a single coat sprayed seal with a nominal aggregate size of 10 mm or larger.
Rubber Content of Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen: Soxhlet Method
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the rubber content of a crumb rubber modified binder using a Soxhlet extraction apparatus. This test method is applicable to crumb rubber modified binders used in constructing and maintaining…
Flexural Beam Test Methods for Cemented Materials
This test method describes the methods for the determination of the flexural modulus, strength and fatigue characteristics of laboratory‑manufactured cemented materials using four point bending techniques.
Stress Ratio of Bituminous Binders using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer
This test method sets out the procedures for the measurement of the stress ratio of binder samples under specific conditions using the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). A major failure mode of sprayed seals and asphalt pavements is fatigue cracking of…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Volumetric Calibration of Bitumen Pumping Systems
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: 
Viscosity of Calibration Fluid
This test method sets out the procedure for validating the calibration fluid. The calibration fluid is used for volumetric calibration of bitumen sprayer pumps (AGPT/T531), and also for two methods of determining transverse distribution of bitumen…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Transverse Distribution by Fixed Pit Facility
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: general introduction and list of methods. It sets out the procedures for determining the transverse distribution of bitumen sprayers, and is based on…
