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…

Guide to Traffic Management Part 8: Local Street Management is concerned with the planning and management of road space usage within a local area, to reduce traffic volumes and speeds in local streets, to increase amenity and improve safety and…

Guide to Traffic Management Part 7: Activity Centre Transport Management is concerned with the planning and management of centres typified by high levels of internal activity and interaction, especially by people on foot. It addresses the need to…

This webinar, presented by Dr Bruce Corben on 26 March 2020, demonstrates ways to integrate Safe System design and operation with Movement and Place for vulnerable road users, in particular pedestrians and cyclists. The Movement and Place Framework…

The Movement and Place Framework is increasingly used to guide transport planning in delivering a more integrated transport system to improve customer outcomes and support a range of user groups. Work is already underway in some jurisdictions to…

This report presents the results of a field validation study conducted as part of the development of a new long term ageing test for polymer modified binders used in sprayed seals in Australia. Unaged samples of binders were collected during the…

The National Cycling Participation Survey (NCPS) is a standardised survey that has been repeated biennially since March/April 2011, with minor changes to the survey structure between 2011 and 2013. The NCPS provides data on cycling participation at…

This webinar, presented on 8 August 2019, provides an overview of an Austroads project that developed a new sprayed seal binder cracking test and compared the performance of polymer modified binders (PMBs).

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 sprayed seal performance of PMBs representing four AGPT/…

This specification framework outlines the requirements for PMBs and crumb rubber modified binders for use in both sprayed sealing and asphalt applications.
