The Asbuton material was used in this research is Lawele Granular Asphalt (LGA). This study was an experimental study conducted in the laboratory by conducting density testing (content weight) and permeability on Asbuton material. Testing of the Asbuton material used Falling Head method to find out the permeability value of Asbuton material. The data of test result to be analyzed are the relation between compaction energy and density value also relation between density value and permeability value of Asbuton material. The result shows that increases the number of blow apply to the Asbuton material at each layer will increase the density of the Asbuton material. The density value of Asbuton material that satisfies the requirements for use as an impermeable core layer in the dam body is 1.53 grams/cm3. The increase the density value (the weight of the contents) of the Asbuton material will reduce its permeability value of the Asbuton material. ## Keywords - Compaction - Permeability (electromagnetism) - Materials science - Composite material - Core (optical fiber) - Physical property - Asphalt - Material properties - Bulk density - Geotechnical engineering - Geology - Soil science - Chemistry - Soil water - Biochemistry - Membrane --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
