        abstract = {The core concept of perpetual pavement revolves around keeping pavement deterioration below specific thresholds, termed endurance limits, to ensure longevity. The endurance limit establishes a thickness threshold, beyond which no structural benefits are gained, potentially leading to financial inefficiencies. This research begins by examining the necessity for perpetual pavements in India and seeks to broaden the scope of pavement design by incorporating alternative materials such as cementitious and crumb rubber-modified bitumen, analysing them using the IITPAVE software. Furthermore, the research emphasizes methodologies for design traffic calculations and performance analysis of the designed pavements. Softening point test outcomes reveal that all crumb rubber (CR) modified binders demonstrate improved resistance to high-temperature effects compared to unmodified binders. Additionally, the study indicates that 5% CR-modified mixes exhibit superior fatigue and deformation qualities compared to standard mixes, alongside reduced temperature susceptibility and enhanced moisture resistance. This research evaluates the feasibility of implementing perpetual pavements within the Indian context, highlighting its significance as India advances towards adopting perpetual pavements for major highways.},
