Abstract :
98% of highways are constructed in flexible
pavement roads. The performance of pavement is
determined by the properties of bitumen. Bitumen is the
naturally occurring byproduct of crude oil. Bituminous
Concrete mix design emphasizes determining the
proportion of bitumen, Filler, fine aggregate, and coarse
aggregates are combined to create a mix that is
workable, strong, durable, and economical. The most
frequent material utilised in the construction of flexible
paving roads is bituminous concrete mix. The
construction of Bituminous Concrete (BC) is used as the
road Wearing course in this project. The Bituminous
Concrete (BC) consists of a proportioned mixture of
coarse aggregates, fine aggregates and bitumen and the
Mix design is carried out by the Marshall method of Mix
design to fulfill the requirements of Stability, Flow,
Density, and Voids analysis. In general, bitumen acts as
an adhesive agent that binds aggregate particles into a
cohesive mass. The bitumen mix is tested for penetration
test, softening point, ductility, and marshal stability to
evaluate different properties like flow value, voids, unit
weight, aggregate voids, and marshal stability.
Aggregates are tested for Grain size analysis, Impact
test, Specific gravity test, Flakiness test, and Elongation
test. Our project emphasizes the mix design
consideration to find out the Optimum Binder Content.
In this design, we have used the Marshall Stability test
method.
