Deformation Resistance of Asphalt Mixtures by the Wheel Tracking Test
This document describes the procedures to be followed to test an asphalt specimen using a wheel tracking test device. The procedures can be carried out on prismatic specimens that have been manufactured in the laboratory, cut from an existing…
Verification Procedures for a Wheel Tracking Test Device
This document describes the procedures to verify that a wheel tracking test device complies with the requirements of those devices permitted for use in Austroads test method ATM 231. The procedures are advisory rather than mandatory and reference…
Characterisation of Flexural Stiffness and Fatigue Performance of Bituminous Mixes
The test method specifies procedures for the characterisation of the stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures using a four point bending test configuration. The test procedure to characterise the complex modulus is contained in Section…
Water Retention of Concrete – Filtration
This test method is used to measure the ability of a concrete with a maximum coarse aggregate size of 20 mm or less to retain its water under pressure. This test determines the amount of water de-filtered when concrete is subjected to a certain…
Chloride Content of Soil
Austroads test method 710 describes the procedure for determining the chloride content of select backfill material intended for use in reinforced earth structures. Chloride content is determined by water extraction and titrimetric analysis of the…
Cone Penetration of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the cone penetration of a joint sealant at 25 
Flow Properties of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the resistance of hot poured joint sealants to flow at a temperature of 70 °
Preparation of Hot Poured Joint Sealant for Laboratory Testing
This test method sets out the procedure to be used to prepare joint sealant samples for testing.
Heat Degradation of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the degree to which a joint sealant is degraded by heat during prolonged storage (6 
Handling Viscosity of Polymer Modified Binders (Brookfield Thermosel)
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the apparent viscosity of PMBs at temperatures above 100°C, using the Brookfield Thermosel rotational viscometer.
