The report describes the work undertaken in the first year of a two-year project to assist implementation of a new Australian asphalt mix design procedure. The main tasks undertaken were (i) preparation of an update for the Australian Provisional Mix Design Guide, (ii) development of a rapid laboratory test to indicate asphalt rut resistance, together with a validation exercise, and (iii) determination of the precision of density measurement of asphalt specimens. The density test program included both maximum and bulk density interlaboratory precision exercises.
