The enhancement of properties of bituminous pavement is critical for improving road performance and longevity. This study explores the advancements in bituminous pavement by optimizing job mix formulations and polymer modifications. Asphalt mixes can have their mechanical qualities, durability, and resistance to deformation increased by adjusting the mix amounts and adding thermosetting polymers. Various polymers, including phenol formaldehyde resin (PhR) and epoxy resin (ER) were evaluated for their effectiveness in modifying the bitumen. Numerous scholars have devised methods for calculating Job Mix Formulations (JMF) in order to determine the proper aggregate mix in the field. In this study, the effects of nominal maximum aggregate size and aggregate gradation were examined. The outcomes showed that aggregate gradation does affect how mixes behave. The trial-and-error approach were used in the study's grading and job mix design processes. The findings demonstrate that appropriate mix design grading and the strategic use of polymer enhances pavement performance.
