AS 2150:2020 PDF Download

AS 2150:2020 provides comprehensive recommendations for the manufacture, supply, and placement of both hot mix and warm mix asphalt for use in pavements. The standard covers various aspects, including materials used in asphalt, asphalt properties, asphalt mix design, manufacturing processes, storage and delivery, sampling and testing procedures, preparation of surfaces, spreading, compaction, and finished surface properties.

The standard also includes typical composition and test properties for most common uses of asphalt. However, it allows for the use of alternative components or mix properties to meet specific performance requirements. It is important to note that AS 2150 does not provide recommendations for cold mix asphalt prepared without heating or designed for maintenance patching material to be placed cold.

The standard includes three appendices that provide additional guidance. Appendix A offers guidance on asphalt planning, while Appendix B provides guidance on the selection of types of asphalt. Appendix C offers guidance on the principles of asphalt mix design.
