Webinar: Appropriate Use of Marginal and Non-standard Materials in Road Construction and Maintenance
This webinar, presented on 17 July 2018, outlines ways to optimise the use of marginal and non-standard materials and gain best value from the successful performance of standard materials. It covers: applying a proposed assessment process to a wider…
Design and Performance of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Pavements
There is a need to improve the Austroads procedures for mix design and structural design of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. This final report summarises the mix design test methods developed within the context of an Austroads mix design…
Appropriate Use of Marginal and Non-standard Materials in Road Construction and Maintenance
This report considers the use of marginal and non-standard materials in road construction and maintenance. It concludes that considerable evidence exists, both nationally and internationally, that supports the wider use of marginal and non-standard…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Volumetric Calibration of Bitumen Pumping Systems
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: 
Viscosity of Calibration Fluid
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…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Transverse Distribution by Fixed Pit Facility
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…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Transverse Distribution by Field Mat
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…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Transverse Distribution by Portable Trough
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…
Road Speed and Distance Calibration
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the accuracy of road speed indicators used on bitumen sprayers. The road speed of the bitumen sprayer is used in conjunction with the pump volumetric output to enable bituminous materials to be…
