This method describes the procedure for adding foamed bitumen to a granular material to produce foamed bitumen stabilised material. The method is applicable to materials with a maximum nominal particle size of 40 mm (i.e. 100% passing the 37.5 mm sieve).

This method is an adaptation of the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads test method Q138 dated January 2017.

This test method can also be downloaded as a Word document.
