Abstract
A good bituminous mix design is anticipated to produce a mix which is supposed to be sufficiently sturdy, long-lasting,
resistive.DBM is used as a binder course in the highway pavement. Binder is a prime material in the bituminous mix. Marshall
properties of bituminous mix varies from binder to binder. In this work an effort has been ended to evaluate the Marshall
properties of dense bituminous macadam prepared using VG-30 and CRMB-55 as binder materials. DBM mix is prepared using
2% lime as filler material and VG-30, CRMB-55 as binder material. Marshall method of bituminous mix design is adopted to
decide the optimum bitumen content (OBC )and Marshall properties were determined at optimum bitumen content. On the basis
of limited laboratory studies carried out, it is conclude that CRMB-55 is superior binder material in terms of Marshall properties.

Mineral filler fills the voids, stiffens the binder and offers
permeability. In the present study, lime is used as mineral
filler. The specific gravity of lime is found as 2.34 and
gradation details are presented in the table 2.
