Abstract

Bituminous materials are extensively used for pavement construction, primarily because of their excellent
binding characteristics, water proofing properties and relatively low cost But In bitumen concrete mix the strength of
bitumen concrete depends on all the constituent materials that are used in the mix design i.e. bitumen, coarse aggregate,
fine aggregate and filler. Above all the bitumen concrete are prepared by bitumen and mineral aggregate. In this study
based on Marshall mix design of bituminous concrete with additives Paraffin wax with different contents like 0.5%,
1.5%, 2%. The Marshall test performing in two ways without additive and with additives like paraffin wax. The result
shows that paraffin wax increases the Marshall stability of bitumen mixture.
