This test method sets out the procedures for the determination of consistency, consistency 6%, stiffness and elastic recovery of polymer modified binders (ARRB elastometer), under specific conditions of deformation, using the elastometer developed

This Test Method is used to assess the reduction of moisture content (dry-back) of the uppermost layer of granular pavement materials prior to the application of bituminous surfacing.

This test method sets out the procedure for the determination of the suitability of a recycled plastic to be used as construction material in asphalt pavements. This test method is applicable to thermoplastic polymers, such as poly(ethylene) (PE),

This test method sets out the procedure for assessing the potential microplastic release of plastic-modified bituminous mixes. This test method is applicable to bituminous mixes modified with thermoplastic polymers, such as poly(ethylene) (PE),

This test method sets out the laboratory procedure for determining the total emissions released during heating of asphalt mixes. This test method can be applied to any type of asphalt mix used for road paving applications. This test method describes

This test method sets out the laboratory procedure for determining the total emissions released during heating of neat and polymer-modified bitumen. This test method can be applied to any type of neat and polymer modified bitumen used for road

This test method describes the procedure for the determination of the surface texture depth of road surfaces, by the sand patch technique. This method is only applicable to surface texture depths greater than 0.3 mm and is the preferred method for
