This course provides an overview of the three main types of bituminous binders that are used in road construction (i.e. unmodified bitumen, polymer modified binders and bituminous emulsions). It includes information about how each material is produced as well as how they are specified. The course also describes the specified tests that are performed on each type of material and how the results of these tests will affect road construction and long-term road performance.
This course will provide a general insight into the use, specified properties and applications of bitumen, polymer modified binders (PMBs) and bituminous emulsions that will benefit project/contract/asset managers as well as technical specialists in State Road Authorities and Local Councils. This course will also benefit technical and production staff that work for binder suppliers.
