       Notes - general: The advent of polymer modified sufface dressing
                        binders has resulted in a number of empirical test
                        methods being developed to characterise their
                        properties.  However, no agreed procedures or
                        specifications have been established.  In an attempt
                        to review the current situation in the UK the County
                        Surveyors Society in collaboration with others set up
                        a 'surface dressing survey'  in 1988.  This paper
                        reviews the test methods employed by Lanfina Bitumen
                        Ltd, Shell Research Centre and this Laboratory in
                        assessing road surface dressing binders.  The paper
                        suggests areas in which procedures may be better
                        controlled and assesses the suitability of the
                        empirical tests for evaluating modifier binder
                        behaviour.
