        abstract = {Flexible pavements are highly susceptible to rutting, cracking, and deformation under heavy traffic loading and environmental conditions. The present study investigates the enhancement of bituminous concrete performance using bamboo fiber as an additive and palm kernel shell as partial aggregate replacement. Marshall Stability tests were conducted to evaluate the performance characteristics of conventional and modified bituminous mixes. The study revealed that optimum addition of bamboo fiber and palm kernel shell improved Marshall Stability, flow value, density, and durability characteristics. The utilization of agricultural waste materials in pavement construction contributes toward sustainable and eco-friendly infrastructure.},
