Rutting, displacement, cracking, distortion, and fatigue are all issues that pavement engineers are concerned about.
The Marshall Stability test is used to determine the compressive properties of the bituminous mix, and the Indirect Tensile
Strength (ITS) test is used to analyse the tensile properties. Many studies on Marshall Stability and ITS have been conducted
separately; however, these two have not been studied together. An effort has been made in this proposal to study the behavioural
similarities between them. Further research on this topic will also determine the correlation between Marshall Stability values
and Indirect Tensile Strength values for Bituminous Concrete at various bitumen content, as well as interpret the suitability of
these tests in mix design. The study will provide guidelines to designer to established relevancy of necessity to conduct of both the
test.
