Polymer modified binders (PMBs) are increasingly used in road construction as they provide enhanced performance properties compared with conventional bitumen. Even though PMBs show enhanced service properties, they may show degradation or changes in…

This report presents the results of a laboratory study that was conducted as part of the development of a new-long term ageing (durability) test for bituminous binders used in sprayed seals in Australia.

Among the number of test methods reviewed and…

This project investigated the feasibility and cost of moving towards a truly Safe System infrastructure. The key feature of such an infrastructure is that it be designed to preserve safety in the face of driver fallibility.

This Pavement Work Tip provides a handy summary of the Austroads AP-T235-13 Guide to the Selection and use of Polymer Modified Binders and Multigrade Bitumens.
