Abstract
The Mechanical Marshall test and statistical analysis have been used to examine pavement site measurements extracted from 43 cores of the Kute-Badra asphalt road section. The study included a theoretical and a practical aspect, and was based on the practical aspect of the Marshall Test. A carrying device was used to perform laboratory tests on hot asphalt samples, and the results were compared with the indices of Iraqi specifications for the largest value for stability and flow. It was found that the hot asphalt mixture matches the Iraqi and international.
