The purpose of road pavement is to provide vehicles with a uniform running surface that has a high skidding resistance, strong against rutting, fatigue and durable too in all-weather condition for its design life. To meet the increasing demand for performance, a variety of additives used for enhancing the properties of bituminous mixtures. In this present research work, the main objective is to understand the engineering properties of the Bituminous Concrete (BC) mix with and without fiber. Two types of fibers are used in this study along with conventional mix, namely polyester and pelletized cellulose fiber. For preparation of the mixtures, aggregate gradation was adopted from MoRTH specifications, binder content has been varied regularly from 4.5% to 6.5% and fiber content 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5% of total mix, the optimum fiber content was obtained at 0.3% from stability and volumetric analysis.
