This study reports on the laboratory performance, field performance and cost analysis of fiber-reinforced asphalt concrete (FR-AC) pavement using AC60/70 and polymer modified asphalt (PMA) as binders. The performance testing included indirect tensile resilient modulus, indirect tensile strength modulus, indirect tensile fatigue life, dynamic creep and wheel-tracker tests. Field trials of AC60/70 and PMA mixtures, were undertaken with and without fibers and the International Roughness Index, texture depth, and rutting of the mixtures were measured over time.
