Experimental study on determination of optimum asphalt emulsion content using Bina Marga Indonesia requirement

Abstract

The development of road construction in Indonesia has recently increased. This results in the need for asphalt, which is one of the materials used in the pavement mixture, also increases. The emulsion spice in Indonesia has been applied, but only on the adhesive layer and the seam layer only. The Department Of Public Works Of The Directorate General Of Highways (Bina Marga) has issued several guidelines to guide the implementation of cold asphalt mix work. The use of low emulsion asphalt emulsion technology reduces emissions, reduces energy consumption and avoids oxidation. This study aims to analyze the value of optimum asphalt content (KAO) of emulsion asphalt mixture using Bina Marga method with reference to book 5 of Bina Marga Indonesia Requirement refer to ASTM. This study was experimented in laboratory. For Determining optimum asphalt content used stability, void in mix (VIM) and void in mineral aggregate (VMA). The results showed that based on the relationship between the content of emulsion asphalt content and all Marshall and volumetric parameters, the optimum content of the emulsion asphalt residue was 5.5%. Based on the relationship between the content of emulsion asphalt content and stability value, the content of optimum asphalt content was at 5.5%. The value of the test results is in accordance with the specification of effective asphalt level determination by Bina Marga Indonesia requirement.
