Austroads Test Methods and Specifications
This document provides a hyperlinked list of the Austroads Test Methods and Specifications.
Extractions of Bituminous Binder from Asphalt
This method has been developed for extracting bituminous binders from bituminous mixtures i.e. asphalt field samples, loose plant mix or reclaimed asphalt pavement.
Modified Surface Texture Depth (Pestle Method)
This 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. This method was developed from BS…
Characterisation of the Viscosity of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Binder Using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)
The 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.
Deformation Resistance of Asphalt Mixtures by the Wheel Tracking Test
This document describes the procedures to be followed to test an asphalt specimen using a wheel tracking test device. The procedures can be carried out on prismatic specimens that have been manufactured in the laboratory, cut from an existing…
Verification Procedures for a Wheel Tracking Test Device
This document describes the procedures to verify that a wheel tracking test device complies with the requirements of those devices permitted for use in Austroads test method ATM 231. The procedures are advisory rather than mandatory and reference…
Characterisation of Flexural Stiffness and Fatigue Performance of Bituminous Mixes
The test method specifies procedures for the characterisation of the stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures using a four point bending test configuration. The test procedure to characterise the complex modulus is contained in Section…
Cone Penetration of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the cone penetration of a joint sealant at 25 
Flow Properties of Hot Poured Joint Sealant
This test method describes the procedure for determining the resistance of hot poured joint sealants to flow at a temperature of 70 °
Preparation of Hot Poured Joint Sealant for Laboratory Testing
This test method sets out the procedure to be used to prepare joint sealant samples for testing.
