        abstract = {Bituminous materials are extensively used for pavement construction, primarily because of their excellent binding characteristics, water proofing properties and relatively low cost But In bitumen concrete mix the strength of bitumen concrete depends on all the constituent materials that are used in the mix design i.e. bitumen, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and filler. Above all the bitumen concrete are prepared by bitumen and mineral aggregates. Therefore, there is a need to explore the use of various types of waste materials like Slag, fly ash, stone dust, brick dust, GGBS, HWA and steel slag etc. Hospital waste generated from hospitals, medical research activities and the other medical sources are causing a major problem in India. The waste generated affects adversely environment as well as the human world. Some studies revealed scope of utilization of biomedical waste ash as partial replacement of cement in concrete. Cement, Brick dust, HWA and GGBS is used in bituminous concrete mix due to its physical properties i.e. gradation, specific gravity, durability, moisture content, very hard and abrasion resistant. Therefore, there is an increase in the values of Marshall Stability, Flow value and Bulk density in bituminous concrete mixes by using fillers Cement, GGBS and Brick Dust.},
