This document summarizes the results of Marshall tests conducted on bituminous concrete mix designs. Five trials were conducted with varying bitumen content from 4.00% to 6.00%. The optimum bitumen content was determined to be 5.09% based on a density of 2.27 kg/m3, stability of 1127 kg, flow of 3.63 mm, voids in mix of 5.42%, voids in aggregate of 16.45%, and voids filled with bitumen of 67.05%. This mix met all specification limits and was deemed acceptable.
