Abstract: Aging of bituminous pavements typically occurs through oxidation of the bitumen and evaporation of the lighter compounds from the binder. The main objective of this study is to evaluate influence of aging on performance of bituminous concrete mix. Bituminous concrete mix were prepared as per Marshall Method of mix design, and subjected to short term aging (STA) procedure which involved in heating the loose mix in oven for aging period of 1 to 5 hours with an interval of 1 hour at a temperature of 135°C.

Keywords: Marshall Properties, Short-term ageing, Control mixture, Material characterization
