        abstract = {The durability of a bituminous mix refers to its ability to resist various forms of deterioration over time. Durability is a factor in the performance of bituminous mixed use in road construction. A durable mix resists aging, weathering and traffic loads, ensuring long –lasting pavement. Poor durability can lead to cracks, potholes and surface deterioration, increasing repair costs and reducing road safety. These studies focused on determining the moisture susceptibility using tensile strength ratio and retain Marshall Stability of bituminous mix because in road way design, the moisture susceptibility of bituminous pavement is an important engineering property. Indirect tensile strength (ITS) and Retain marshal stability (RMS) tests are performed on bituminous mixes for evaluating Tensile strength ratio (TSR) and retain Marshall Stability whereas mixes prepared with PMB 76-10 bitumen showed better resistance to moisture damage, and WMA additive such as zycotherm with varying doses with respected toweight of bitumen incorporated at difference production temperature in PMB 76-10 binder. The results show that durability performances of PMB 76-10 bituminous mixes are directly affected by variation of WMA additive doses and production temperature.},
