Σύνοψη

Bitumen is a very widely used civil engineering material, the properties of which still remain a mystery to many of the large number of people involved in its various applications, the most important being contraction and maintenance of roads. In practice, the use of bitumen has remained a craft rather than a technology.
Engineers responsible for the design of works using bitumen, have a professional responsibility to get adequate understanding of its physical properties.
In this Project Report the following subjects relating to bituminous mixtures are discussed to some extent.

• Understanding what is meant by bituminous mixtures
• A brief description of the properties of bituminous materials
• Mechanisms of how surfacings deteriorate
• Asphalt mix design principles
• Different kinds of mix design methods

Special attention is given to the Marshall Method of Mix Design, being the most popular and widely used method today.
