PENGARUH CAMPURAN ASPAL PENETRASI 60/70 DENGAN KADAR 5,5% DAN LATEKS TERHADAP KARATERISTIK MARSHALL PADA PERKERASAN AC-WC
Abstract
Road pavement needs a binding material namely asphalt in the form of a mixture of material for road construction. Asphalt has some types namely natural asphalt, modified asphalt, asphalt cement, and cut back asphalt. The different modifications of asphalt that has been being explored were the modification with Sasobit wax, Carbon Black, Mineral fibres and so on. In this research, latex was used as the material for asphalt mixture. The research objective was to analyze the mixture of asphalt with the asphalt penetration 60/70 and the addition of latex. The research was done using the Marshall method to know the Flow, VIM, VMA, VFA, MQ, Stability, and Density values by using latex as the material for asphalt mixture. The result of the test toward the asphalt content of 5.5% and the latex content in variation of 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% showed that the OBC at a latex content of 6% had Flow 3.71 mm, VIM 3.71%, VMA 15.82%, VFA 97.63%, MQ 344.55 kg/mm, Stability 1069.58 kg, and Density 2.35.
