This webinar, presented on 31 October 2018, provides an overview of the key changes to the Guide to Pavement Technology Parts 4F and 4K, and the significant advances in the areas of binder specifications and sprayed seal design.

The Australian polymer modified binder (PMB) specification (AGPT/T190) currently requires different binder grades to be used in sprayed sealing and asphalt applications. This study compared the performance of PMBs representing four AGPT/T190 grades…

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 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.
