Abstract

Improvement in transportation system is todays need. It is not only done by providing roads to connect different cities or sectors but it is done by improving the quality of road pavement. A well designed Bituminous mix that have all the good properties like rutting resistance, resistance to temperature changes, must be strong and at the same time it should be economical and environment friendly. Different filler materials are added to the bitumen mixture to increase the strength and performance of the road pavement. The main aim of this project is to determine the suitability of coconut shell charcoal powder as a filler material in Bitumen Mix (which have significant characteristic such as oppose to freezing, rutting, crushing and surface moisture) and to analysis the results of other filler material like Quarry Dust, M-Sand and to find the best economical and environment friendly filler material that improve the standard and imperishability of road. The Marshall Stability Method is the main test used for this project
