Zusammenfassung:To produce a composition to be used in road paving, mineral constituents such as gravel and/or crushed stone and sand with a bituminous binder are mixed in a mixer. To improve the strength characteristics of asphalt layers made with such a mixture in a simple, relatively cheap way chopped bundles of glass or mineral fibres are added to the composition in a percentage by mass of 0.2 - 0.8 with respect to the mineral constituents, the length of the filaments being between 5 and 50 mm, the diameter of the filaments at least 1 micrometer, and an adhesion-promoting protective coating being provided on the fibres. It is essential for the invention that the fibres are added in the mixture and not on the road and that the glass or mineral fibres are introduced into the composition in the form of bundles chopped to certain lengths.
