This report reassesses the benefits and impacts of using High Productivity Vehicles (HPVs) and proposes a method to consistently quantify pavement vertical loading of an individual vehicle design.

This test method sets out the procedures for the determination of the force ratio and toughness of bitumen and PMBs under specific conditions of deformation using the ARRB extensiometer.

This test method provides a guideline for the design of a blend of RAP binder, virgin binder, and/or rejuvenating agent to a target viscosity.

This test method sets out the procedures for the determination of consistency, consistency 6%, stiffness and elastic recovery of polymer modified binders (ARRB elastometer), under specific conditions of deformation, using the elastometer developed…

This report outlines the application of a methodology developed for assessing the impact of a potential length increase for PBS Level 1 vehicles, based on the assessment criteria identified and discussed in workshops conducted in 2011. Fifty-five…

This method describes a procedure for determining the particle size, shape and contaminants of crumb rubber.

This report analyses the existing vehicle fleet mix and forecast future fleet growth and reviews the appropriate indicators for the level of service for freight vehicles. It also compiles the current practices in improving the efficiency of freight…

This test method sets out the procedure for determination of the softening point of polymer modified binders.

This method describes a procedure for determining the bulk density of crumb rubber in the size range 600 to 300 µm.

This method describes a procedure for determining whether a PMB can be easily returned to a homogeneous state after subjecting a sample of the PMB to an elevated temperature for a prolonged period. This ease of remixing is assessed by determining…
