This Austroads Technical Specification ATS 3110 sets out the requirements for the supply of polymer modified binders (PMBs) and crumb rubber modified binders for use in both sprayed sealing and asphalt applications. The technical specification can…

Guide to Pavement Technology Part 2: Pavement Structural Design provides advice for the structural design of sealed road pavements. The advice has been generally developed from the approaches followed by the Austroads member agencies. However, as it…

The use of stabilisation technology for stabilising and recycling materials for pavement construction and maintenance is widely accepted as a cost-effective method of improving long‑term performance and reducing whole-of-life costs of modern,…

Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4C: Materials for Concrete Road Pavements summarises aspects of Australian and New Zealand practice in materials for use in concrete road pavements including: base concrete and lean-mix concrete subbase concrete…

The test method specifies procedures for the characterisation of the stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures using a four-point bending test configuration.

This method has been developed for extracting bituminous binders from bituminous mixtures i.e. asphalt field samples, loose plant mix or reclaimed asphalt pavement.

This test method sets out the procedure for the determination of viscosity of binders recovered from RAP source materials, as well as of virgin binders and rejuvenators. The viscosity is determined under specific conditions of oscillation loading,…

Part 2 of the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology - Pavement Structural Design contains procedures for the design of flexible pavements consisting of unbound granular materials, flexible pavements that contain one or more bound layers, and rigid…

Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Designprovides advice for the investigation of existing sealed road pavements and the selection and design of pavement strategies/treatments. The advice has been generally…

Part 2: Pavement Structural Design – provides advice for the structural design of sealed road pavements. The advice has been generally developed from the approaches followed in the Austroads member authorities. However, as it encompasses the wide…
