The distinctive characteristics of bitumen which ascribe worth to it as a reliable construction material are its amazing adhesion and excellent water-proofing capabilities. The suited requirements of the bituminous binders are evaluated as per various standards laid down by the enforcing authorities. The final properties of the bituminous mix depend on the colloidal structure, which in turn is dependent on the processing of the crude source. Of late, methods to modify the inferior characteristics of bitumen have been devised. These methods loosely have a thing in common- modification of rheological properties of bitumen. The concept of utilizing fibers as reinforcing agents is not exactly new. It has been undertaken since ancient times and the research continues unabated to this day. Desirable results such as increase in elasticity, augmentation of adhesion to the aggregate particles, decrease in viscosity etc. have successfully been achieved by the application of different additives. Nonetheless, in the recent years, a new trend has emerged in that fibers are now incorporated into the mix as an additional component or additive. Many fibers have also been observed to have superior tensile strength in comparison with bituminous mixes; with the result they exhibit promising results in the improvement of tensile strength of the mixes. In this review paper, we delve into the associated literature to find the studies carried out on this topic.
