The characterisation of the flexural stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures in Australia and New Zealand is undertaken using a four-point bending (4PB) configuration. This document describes the procedures to be followed to verify…

This test method sets out procedures for the preparation of asphalt specimens and measuring the change in indirect tensile strength resulting from the effects of moisture and freeze/thaw conditioning. The results can be used to assess the propensity…

The test method outlines the procedure for determining the permeability of a water-saturated asphalt specimen in the laboratory using the ponding method. The test method was primarily developed for dense-graded, stone mastic and gap-graded asphalt…

This document describes the procedures to be followed for compacting asphalt specimens using a gyratory compactor.

This webinar, presented by Robert Urquhart on 11 August 2020, gives an overview of an Austroads project which provided expert technical input into the update of four Australian standards which were revised by the Standards Australia Technical…

This method sets out the procedure for determining the degree of stripping of a single coat sprayed seal with a nominal aggregate size of 10 mm or larger.

This test method provides an overview of the 

This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: 

This test method sets out the procedure for validating the calibration fluid. The calibration fluid is used for volumetric calibration of bitumen sprayer pumps (AGPT/T531), and also for two methods of determining transverse distribution of bitumen…

This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: general introduction and list of methods. It sets out the procedures for determining the transverse distribution of bitumen sprayers, and is based on…
