        abstract = {The performance of flexible pavements is significantly influenced by traffic load, temperature, and environmental variations. Conventional bitumen often underperforms under such conditions, leading to early distress. This study aims to enhance the properties of bituminous concrete (BC) by partially replacing fine aggregate with copper slag and incorporating jute fiber as an additive. Optimum copper slag content was determined based on Marshall Properties. BC mixes were then prepared with varying jute fiber content (0% to 0.5%) and a constant binder content of 0.1%. The combination was found to improve the engineering characteristics of the pavement mix.},
