TI  - Preference Index of Sustainable Natural Fibers in Stone Matrix Asphalt Mixture 
      Using Waste Marble.

AB  - The present study investigates the preference index of natural fibers such as 
      sisal, coir, and rice straw fibers in stone matrix asphalt mixtures (SMA), using 
      waste marble as filler. Waste marble was used as the filler in asphalt mixtures 
      and was crushed by abrasion machine and sieved according to SMA filler 
      requirements. The SEM topography and EDS analysis of sisal, coir, and rice straw 
      fibers were also carried out. The Marshall test was conducted, which is the most 
      acceptable, cost-effective, and widely adopted method to estimate the optimum 
      bitumen and to examine several Marshall Measures, such as flow value, voids 
      filled with bitumen (VFB), stability, voids in mineral aggregate (VMA), and air 
      voids (VA). Furthermore, tests were performed on the specimen with the optimum 
      amount of bitumen, different percentages of fibers, and waste marble as filler to 
      calculate drain down, moister sensitivity, and Marshall Stability. Multi-criteria 
      decision-making (MCDM) techniques were implemented to obtain subjective and 
      objective weights, which were further used to compute the values of the 
      preference index of natural fiber contents. The outcomes revealed favorable 
      results for the usage of marble dust as filler in Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). In 
      addition, the preference index upshots are inclined toward the usage of rice 
      straw over coir followed by sisal fiber. It was observed that the value of the 
      preference index in rice straw at 0.3 varied from 0.918, 0.925, and 0.931 in rice 
      straw using equal, objective, and subjective weights, respectively. The maximum 
      drain down value observed is 0.335 based on ASTM-D 6390 and IRC-SP-79 are against 
      0.3 percent natural fiber. Moreover, as per the prescribed limit of MoRTH, 
      because of the thin film around aggregates, moisture susceptibility 
      characteristics, i.e., better resistance to moisture, were enhanced by more than 
      80%.
