PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN LATEKS PADA ASPAL DENGAN KADAR 4,5% PADA CAMPURAN ASPAL AC-WC
Abstract
In Indonesia, asphalt is the most important part of road pavement
construction. One type of layer that is most generally used is Asphalt Concerete
Wearing Course (AC - WC) which is a layer of the surface. Natural Rubber
(caoutchouc) is the main modifying material for asphalt, because rubber has a good
plasticity and very useful for stickiness. Mixing asphalt and latex in pavement
construction is really helpful to increase consumption of rubber in this country. The
Purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding latex on asphalt
penetration 60/70 and to find out the effect of adding latex to the mixture with
asphalt penetration 60/70 with The Marshall Method on density values, VIM, VMA,
VFA, stability, flow and Marshall Quotient (MQ). The results of this test will
examine the results of the Marshall test with 4.5% asphalt content variations with
added variations in the levels of latex 0%, 3%, 5%, and 7%. From the results of
testing carried out by the Marshall method there were.
No variations with added variations in the levels of latex with the KAO. In
this test, only 5% latex has the best result with a density value of 2.32gr/cm3”, VIM
value of 66.04%, the stability value is 999.58 kg, the flow value is 2.21 mm and the
MQ value is 334.473 kg/mm.
