Asphalt concrete is often used as a surface layer for anticipating the heavy traffic load andhigh, it is intended to obtain a coating that is able to contribute to the measured bearing capacity.Asphalt concrete mix composed of continuously graded aggregate and asphalt binding material,where the quality of asphalt concrete in the field will be affected by manufacturing process in theAMP, distribution and compaction in field. This study aims to determine the effect of immersion inthe concrete mix to the Marshall stability value. The variation of immersion time used in this study2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours. The results showed that there is a very strong influence ondipping against Marshall stability value as shown by the equation Y = - 10.67 x + 228.85 and willincrease at 24 and 72 hours of immersion., While for the value of the air cavity will reach below therequirements after the age of 20 hours of immersion.Keywords: asphalt concrete mixture, Marshall stability.
