ASPHALT CHARACTERISTICS OF CONCRETE ASPHALT MIXED TO REDUCE EARLY DAMAGE IN FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT

Abstract

Pavement roads in Indonesia often suffer premature damage. Efforts to overcome road damage need to be done by using pavement materials suitable for the climate in Indonesia. This research discusses the comparison of Pertamina asphalt 60/70 and Shell asphalt 60/70 in the concrete asphalt mixture. The variation of the bitumen content used in this study was 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%. From the test results, it can be concluded that Shell asphalt 60/70 penetration is relatively better in terms of the considerable penetration value, softening point, stability value, flow, and Marshall Quotient, which are higher than Pertamina's 60/70 penetration asphalt.
