This paper aims at the study of potholes on the bituminous road surface and introducing the antistripping material to the bitumen to increase the durability of the road. Antistripping agents can eliminate the possibility of some instabilities in asphalt, such as crumbling and formation of holes.Theideaistointroducesomeofanti-strippingagentin the bituminous while contraction of the road to increase the life of the road from potholes and cracking. In this paper, the antistripping material ’bitugrip’ is used to improve the adhesionpropertiesofbitumenandaggregates.Thestripping valuedecreaseswhileincreasingthepercentageofbitugripto thebitumen.Anadditionallaboratorystudywasconductedto characterize the performance properties of the antistripping material. Overall, the addition of bitugrip has a positive influence on the adhesion properties between the aggregates and the bitumen and can be used to increase the durability of roads, thereby reduce the maintenance cost of theroads.
