There are two types of pavement, one is flexible pavement and second one is rigid pavement. If the initial cost is considered, than the rigid pavement is costly, but the maintenance cost of it is low. And country like INDIA, its not possible to provide rigid pavement everywhere, so flexible pavement is the option only. In flexible pavement, it is required to be maintained at some interval of time so the cost of maintenance is should be minimum. At present, the maintenance cost is higher so now the method of maintenance has to be modified for the flexible pavement.To avoid the maintenance cost, the proper quality of work and material is important. So to improve the quality, various material or chemicals are used to improve the quality or to improve the property of the raw material. The study is about to improve the properties of bitumen. In Flexible pavement construction, modified bitumen can be used with fibres, Chemicals, Waste materials etc. for improving its properties. The most suitable fibres are used to improve its properties, i.e. Marshall Mix design, Viscosity ,Ductility ,and Specific Gravity. According to literature, Forta Fi- fibre is most advantageous for improving bituminous properties So here it is checked for its feasibility in our country to improve different bituminous property. 1%, 2 %, and 3 % of Forta Fi by its weight of Conventional bitumen mix is studied.
