Flash Point of Polymer Modified Binders
This test method sets out the procedure for the determination of the flash point of polymer modified binders (PMBs). This test method is applicable to PMBs used in the construction and maintenance of pavements (as specified in ATS 3110).
Compressive Limit of Polymer Modified Binders
This test method is applicable to all binders that do not have a viscous response at 70°C and at long loading times when confined to film thicknesses in the range 0.1 to 1mm. It is applicable to all modified binders.
Mass Change or Loss on Heating of Polymer Modified Binders after Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO) Treatment
This test method sets out the procedure for the determination of mass change or loss on heating of a polymer modified binder (PMB) due to the effect of heat and air during rolling thin film oven (RTFO) treatment.
Protocol for Handling Modified Binders in Preparation for Laboratory Testing
This method complements AS/NZS 2341.21 by setting out the handling procedures for the testing of modified binders.
Torsional Recovery of Polymer Modified Binders
This test method sets out the procedure for the determination of torsional recovery of polymer modified binders (PMBs) under specific conditions using a simple torsional recovery test apparatus. PMBs are thought to provide benefits due to their…
Assessing Fitness to Drive: Implementation Strategy 2022
This report describes the proposed Strategy for implementation of Assessing Fitness to Drive for consideration by the Austroads Board. It has been developed based on the Implementation Framework endorsed by the Austroads Board in 2021, together with…
Assessing fitness to drive for commercial and private vehicle drivers
Driving a motor vehicle is a complex task involving perception, appropriate judgement, adequate response time and appropriate physical capability. A range of medical conditions, disabilities and treatments may influence these driving prerequisites.…
Webinar: Cycling for Sustainable Cities
Cycling is a sustainable means of urban travel. It has the potential to serve many short- and medium-distance trips &ndash
Webinar: Evaluating the Rutting Performance of Binders
Asphalt pavements are a major component of the Australian and New Zealand road networks. Road agencies in Australia and New Zealand have been putting great efforts to produce pavements which perform and are long-lasting. This has led to the…
Development of the Dynamic Shear Rheometer Consistency 6% Test Method for Polymer Modified Binders
This report describes research work into the development of a new test method utilising the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) to conduct consistency 6% at 60
