One of the innovative technique of improvement in bitumen concrete surface practiced all over the world is addition of steel fibres in it. The performance of Bituminous concrete Mixes with steel fibre in varied proportions (2%,2.5%,3%,3.5%,4%,4.5%,5%,5.5% & 6% with 18 mm and 11 mm length was studied by conducting Marshall Stability Test for Stability of Bituminous Mixes .The results have been noticed that the considerable improvement in stability of bitumen concrete was at an optimum percentage of added steel fibre for bitumen concrete at 3.5 % of 11 mm long steel fibre . Therefore these fibre content has been recommended for making improvements in parameter of Bituminous Mixes.
