Abstract

The strength and durability of the flexible pavement is highly dependent on the quality of the aggregate material used for base and subbase layers. This is can be understand since  95 percent of the weight-volume of the base and subbase layer is aggregate. Therefore using a good quality and strong base and subbase material is very important. In this paper, which is a report of a reseacrh,  Feldspar is used as stabilizer of base and subbase materlias of flexible pavement. Feldspar  is a group rock-ftant forming tectosilicate minerals that made up about 41% of the earth’s continental crust by weight. 5 to 25% of Feldspar with increment of 5% by weight of the base and also subbase were added. Direct Shear and California Baring Ratio (CBR) test were conducted., beside water content and dry density test. The results of direct shear  test show that cohesion of base and subbase materials decrease from 0,164 kg/cm2 of original base and subbase materials become 0,01 kg/cm2 for base and subbase material after adding with 25% of Feldspar, and angle of inernal friction increase from 47,670 become 49,800. Meanwhile the results of CBR test show that CBR value of base increase from 30% to 86,40%, as well as for subbase increase from 21,50% to 87,30% after adding with 15% of Feldspar. It can be concluded that adding aggregate of base and subbase with Feldspar the strenght improve signicantly, and the influence is the strengthening of the base and subbase layers.

Abstract

Abstract:The natural asphalt in the world which can be explored until today is Buton Natural Rock Asphalt (BNRA). The other natural asphalt like Trinidad Lake Asphalt   Based on survey conducted by Directorate General of Mining Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Republik of Indonesia, amount of 650 million ton of BNRA are found in Buton island, yet until 92 years since BNRA in Buton Island discover by Hetzel, a Dutch Geolog, only 3.4 ton  that have been explored to be used for road work. This paper reported the using of  BNRA to modify bitumen to improve their properties in order to resist  the high temperature rutting, and to stabilize clay soil, to  improve their strenght. Bitumen penetration grade 80/100 which will be modified was blend by 15 to 65% of BNRA in increments of 5% by weight of bitumen, and to stabilized clay soil, amount of 2% to 8% in increements of 2% BNRA by weight of soil was added. To determine Penetration Index (PI) of neat bitumen and alsobitumen modified with BNRA,  penetration at 250 Celcius and softening point test were conducted. Penetration Index is the parameter to measure the temperature susceptibility of binder. The test results show that ...
