The value of the modulus of elasticity is very important to know for analyzing the strength of a hot asphalt mixture because the increase in the modulus of elasticity indicates an increase in the ability of a mixture to withstand loads by itself. The use of the wire mesh layer as reinforcement in hot asphalt mixture is considered capable of increasing the modulus of elasticity. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the use of wire mesh layers in the hot asphalt mixture with the modulus of elasticity. The research was conducted using the three-point flexural test apparatus. Based on experiment methode, it was found that hot asphalt mixture with a layer of wire mesh laying 30 mm from the surface of the specimen was the best type of specimen modeling with a bending resistance value of 291.85 KN. The higher the flexural resistance value that can be withheld, the higher the modulus of elasticity, namely 3,800.13 MPa. The best asphalt mixtures are characterized by a high modulus of elasticity, high stress, and low strain.
