Abstract

Type of asphalt mixture is porous asphalt which is a type of pavement that has been developed in several developed countries and is intended only for the wearing course. Porous asphalt is a mixture of asphalt being developed for construction. Most of the coconut husk is only thrown away when it has been processed from the coconut. One of the specifications for porous asphalt is the Road Engineering Association of Malaysia (REAM). Based on this, further research was conducted to find the benefits and contents of the mixture of asphalt and coconut husk. as one of the uses of coconut coir waste in order to reduce coconut coir waste which is rarely processed. The research method that I do is experimental in the laboratory, namely testing to determine the value of Marshall and Cantabro. Marshall testing was carried out with 6 test objects in the form of briquettes and 6 cantabro objects with a total of 12 test objects. The variation of coconut coir used is a variation of 0% and 0.75% with a mixture of asphalt oil content of 4%. From the test results, it can be concluded that the characteristic values of Marshall, namely, Marshall characteristic values that meet Ream specifications are VMA 0.75%, Stability 0%, Flow 0%, MQ 0% and 0.75%. Whereas in the cantabro test the average weight loss at the 0% variation was 22.00%, and in the coconut husk variation was 29.38%.
