This report outlines a process for community consultation and specific techniques to assess community needs and priorities, including affordability and trade offs, and methodologies for defining levels of service criteria for road serving a range of…

This report provides a review of community consultation techniques used by various road agencies in Australia and overseas. The review addresses the definition of community consultation, the purpose of consultation and its phases and describes…

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 determining the amount of binder drain-off likely to occur in an asphalt mix during storage and transport. The method may be used to determine the amount of binder drain-off at the maximum mixing…

This method describes the procedure for the recovery of sprayed seal samples from the pavement without disturbing the sealing aggregate orientation. The method stipulates how the void content of the sample is determined.

This test method sets out the procedure for assessing the degree of absorption of a primer or primerbinder by a given road gravel in bituminous surfacing work.

This test method details the requirements for determining the flexural stiffness, phase angle, dissipated energy per cycle, cycles to failure and cumulative dissipated energy at failure of asphalt subjected to repeated flexure by cyclical four-point…

This method sets out recommended procedures for mixing, compacting, conditioning and trimming asphalt to provide homogeneous specimens suitable for wheel track testing, beam flexure testing, resilient modulus testing and other asphalt…

This test method sets out the procedures for determining particle loss (abrasion) from laboratory prepared specimens of open graded asphalt. The test may be performed on dry samples or after period of moisture conditioning.

This method details the determination of the binder content of asphalt mixes by ignition at a temperature of not less than 540°C and the subsequent determination of the particle size distribution by sieve analysis.
