The growing need for high quality bituminous mixtures in road construction and to cater to heavy traffic loads in terms of number of axles, modification of bituminous mixes emerges as a need to improve pavement performance and to extend the service life. In recent times, scientist and engineers have shown immense interest on utilizing various fibres because it acts as a very promising additive for the improvement of engineering characteristics of the bituminous mixes. The objective of this study is to have better understanding of utilizing fine steel fibres in dense bituminous macadam and bituminous concrete pavement layers. Generally, the review demonstrated an improvement in fatigue life of the pavement together with developing improved resistance to reflective crack when modified using steel fibres.
