Abstract
Abstract: Pavement engineers are much concerned about making bituminous layers resistant to cracking, distortion, displacement, rutting, and fatigue. Hence behaviour of bituminous layers under compressive and tensile stress is important in pavement applications. The Marshall Stability test is used to assess the compressive properties and Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) test is used to assess the tensile properties of the bituminous mix. Many research studies have been done on Marshall Stability and ITS individually; however, a combination has not been tried yet. In this proposal, an effort has been made to study the behavioural similarity between them. Further research in this field will also ascertain correlation between Marshall Stability values and ITS values for DBM at different binder contents and for different binder grades (VG-30 and VG-40) and will interpret regarding suitability of these tests in the mix design
