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…

This test method applies to polymer modified binders, polymers and crumb rubber.Materials are sampled according to this protocol to ensure that correct sampling procedures are followed and that test results provide the required information on…

This document provides a hyperlinked list of the Austroads Test Methods and Specifications.

Where a statistical approach to product acceptance is used, the characteristic value for the lot is determined by analysing multiple random test results from the lot. Characteristic values may be specified for properties such as geotextile strength,…

Proof rolling is the process of assessing the strength, stiffness and uniformity of material by moving a heavy plant over the surface and observing the resultant deflection/deformation (if any).

Polymer modified binders (PMBs) are prepared from mixtures of polymers, additives and bitumen selected to achieve their required properties. Some of these binder systems can segregate, leading to variations in measured properties and in some…

This test method sets out the procedure to evaluate the abrasion resistance of seamless tubular filter fabric which has been pre-treated in ultraviolet light. This test method can also be downloaded as a 

This test method sets out the procedure for determining the weave stability of seamless tubular filter fabric which has been pre-treated in ultraviolet light and a solution of calcium hydroxide. This test method can also be downloaded as a 

This test method sets out the procedure for determining the range of dimensions of openings in sample areas of seamless knitted tubular filter fabric for use over corrugated plastic subsoil pipe. This test method can also be downloaded as a 

This test method sets out the procedure for determining the likelihood of a seamless tubular filter fabric, which has been pretreated in ultraviolet light, to ladder, unravel or deweave when placed over a mandrel. This test method can also be…
