Abstract
This paper provides a review of use of fibre in the SMA mixes design for road construction. Some Research has use fibres in fresh form or in waste form in highway industry. Some studies showed that fibre can increase the stability, tensile strength and can improve the indirect tensile strength and static creep behaviour of the asphalt pavement. In contrast, fibres improve the fatigue life of the modified
bituminous mixes. In general, the previous research illustrates that fibre significantly improves the engineering properties of asphalt mixtures when mixed with SMA bitumen mix. SMA requires stabilizing additives composed of cellulose fibbers, mineral fibres or polymers to prevent drain down of the mix. In this Paper various applications and properties of SMA mixes are studied. Also the studies done by various authors are reviewed in this study.
