<![CDATA[The utilization of stone dust waste produced from PLTU Ketapang coal combustion process is still below optimal level. Produced waste reached ± 23,13 ton /day which consists of 99,5% of fly ash and 0,5% bottom ash. As a result, the writer gained an idea of using fly ash as a filler in bitumen mixture, especially in Hot Rolled Sheet – BASE (HRS – BASE). The study was aimed to compare fly ash and stone dust if used as filler in Hot Rolled Sheet – BASE (HRS – BASE) mix in marshall test including void analysis which consistsed of VMA, VIM, VFB, and MQ. The planned test item concentration of tar was on the level of 6%, 6,5%, 7%, 7,5%, and 8%. The mixture which used stone dust as filler resulted in optimum bitumen content of 6,90% and the result of marshall test diplayed 912,072 kg of stability, 3,333 mm flow, 4,306% VIM, 18,018 % VMA, 82,681% VFB, and 273,745 kg/mm MQ. In the mixture which used fly ash as the filler resulted in optimum bitumen content of 7,1% with the marshall test displayed 877,132 kg of stability, 3,433 flow, 3,985% of VIM, 18,150% VFB, and the Marshall Quotient (MQ) 255,716 kg/mm.]]>
