Laboratory study: durability characteristics of Asphalt concrete binder course utilizing Bantak and Clereng as aggregate and Asbuton Lawele as fine aggregate (using Marshall Methods)

Construction of roads and will continue and growing, while on the other side of the raw material reserves for the road less. Given this, the researchers tried to use the mining waste material at the bottom of Sabo Dam from Merapi which is bantak to substituted coarse aggregate and asbuton is substituted fine aggregate to tackle the lack of asphalt and to utilise local’s natural resources. This research carried out by using a mixture of 40% Bantak and 60% Clereng and substitute fine aggregate (substitution) with asbuton Lawele type 20/25 with the same amount. The asbuton concentrate variation that used in the test are (100%:0), (75%:25%), (50%:50%), (25%:75%), (0%:100%). All the specimens tested and analysed using Marshall Method as Public Work Department specification (2007), determined the optimum asphalt value of each specimen. All specimens with optimum value will immersed in water during half hour, 24 hours and 48 hours before Marshall test. Result of the test is used to know the asbuton substitution variation effects based on stability value, and residual strength index. The result shows that optimum asphalt value of asbuton specimens with percentage asbuton 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% are 6.2%; 5.6%; 5.25%; 5.1% and 5%. On standardise immersion asbuton variation of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% the mix stability value are of 1498 kg, 1629 kg, 1405 kg, 1264 kg and 1258 kg respectively. While on 48 hour immersion, the residual strength indexs are 97.97%, 88.86%; 71.06%; 64.41% and 57%. In the conclusion optimum utilisation asbuton is 25% with optimum asphalt value 56% because has high stability, but has low durability.
