• Reinforcement consists of incorporating certain materials with some desired properties within other material which lack those properties. The concept of using fibres to improve the behaviour of materials is not new. The modern developments of fibre reinforcement started in the early 1960s. A multitude of fibers and fiber materials were introduced and are continuously being introduced in the market.Stone Mastic Asphalt pavement surfaces have been used successfully in Germany on heavily trafficked roads. In recognition of its excellent performance a national standard was set in Germany in 1984. Since then SMA has spread and gained acceptance all over the world, because of its excellent performance characteristic the use of SMA increased in popularity amongst road authorities and asphalt industry.This paper presents the characteristics and properties of glass fiber reinforced Stone Mastic Asphalt, which may have the benefit of improving the performance of road pavement. To evaluate the effect of the fiber content on the bituminous mixes, laboratory investigations were conducted on the samples with and without fibers. The testing undertaken in this research comprise the marshall test, indirect tensile test, creep test and resistance to fatigue cracking by using repeated load indirect tensile test.The use of Glass fiber showed consistent results and it was found the addition of fiber does affect the properties of bituminous mixes, by decreasing its stability and an increase in the flow value as well the voids in the mix. The results indicated that the fiber has the potential to resist structural distress that occur in road pavement as result of increased traffic loading, thus improving fatigue life by increasing the resistance to cracking and permanent deformation. On the whole, the results showed that the addition of glass fiber will be beneficial in improving some of the main properties of the flexible pavement.
