This document provides a guide to preparing samples for asphalt mix design to conform to Austroads design processes. It covers splitting of the raw components as well as compacting cylindrical and prismatic samples. The loose asphalt conditioning…
The temperature sensitivity (K factor) of the ball penetration test is an important parameter in estimating the embedment allowance of the overlaying seal design. A series of ball penetration tests were performed in the laboratory to investigate the…
This report reviewed various approaches to produce warm mix asphalt (WMA) and their laboratory and field assessments. Reviewed technologies are the foamed mix based products (Aspha-Min, WAM-Foam and LEA), organic additive products (Sasobit,…
