Campuran beraspal hangat (Warm Mix Asphalt/WMA) mulai dikembangkan karena lebih ramah lingkungan dibandingkan dengan campuran beraspal panas (Hot Mix Asphalt/HMA). Zeolit dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan tambah pada WMA, karena sifatnya yang dapat menyimpan air sehingga pencampuran dan pemadatan pada WMA dapat dilakukan pada suhu yang lebih rendah dibanding HMA. Pusat Penelitian Pengembangan Jalan dan Jembatan (Pusjatan) turut mengembangkan teknologi WMA dengan memproduksi WMA Zeolit yang diberi nama ECOPAL. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik dan pengaruh penambahan ECOPAL pada campuran Asphalt Concrete Wearing Course (AC-WC) dengan variasi ECOPAL 0,5%; 1%; 1,5%; 2%; 2,5% pada kadar aspal optimum (KAO). Pencampuran dilakukan pada suhu ±130oC, pemadatan suhu ±115oC, dan hasil penelitian menunjukkan setiap penambahan ECOPAL sebesar 0,5% meningkatkan nilai rata-rata stabilitas sebesar 14,85%; VFB 1,44%; dan kepadatan 0,22%. Sebaliknya, nilai VIM dan VMA cenderung mengalami penurunan, yaitu berturut-turut sebesar 4,34% dan 1,18%, sedangkan nilai flow tidak menunjukkan pola yang teratur terhadap kadar penambahan ECOPAL. Secara keseluruhan, terdapat beberapa campuran yang tidak memenuhi spesifikasi Bina Marga 2018. Nilai stabilitas dan Marshall Quotient pada kadar ECOPAL 0,5%-1,5% tidak memenuhi spesifikasi. Di samping itu, nilai VIM pada kadar ECOPAL 0,5% juga tidak memenuhi spesifikasi. Campuran dengan kadar ECOPAL 2,5% menghasilkan karakteristik terbaik, yaitu dengan nilai stabilitas 1101,91 kg; flow 3,13 mm; MQ 351,5 kg/mm; VIM 4,304%; VMA 15,374%; VFB 72,012%; serta kepadatan 2,226 gr/cm3. Nilai-nilai ini mendekati karakteristik AC-WC pada campuran panas. Kata Kunci: AC-WC, warm mix asphalt (WMA), zeolit, ECOPAL

Nowadays, engineers begin to pay more attention on field-aged asphalt concrete cores because they have more reality than the lab-made cores and the results can tell what happened to the pavement. However, it is not accurate to estimate the full asphalt mixture because as usual the pavement engineers can only extract the binder from it, not the mixture. Now there is a newly developed way to analysis the data more accurately using the Direct Tension Test. Because the field aged asphalt mixtures are not aged uniformly with the pavement depth because of various reasons, there is a modulus gradient going through deeply through the asphalt layer and usually the stiffest layer is the surface because normally the surface is more aged. A method has been developed to analysis this behavior. Tests are both taken on field cores which are Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA). During the research, the authors found that it is both applicable for all the field cores. More information about this method and tests are detailed in the following paragraphs.

Polymer Modified Asphalt

Asphalt Concrete mixture of polymer modification are used to reduce the damage early and increasing the durability of pavement to various damage such as permanent deformation, cracking due to temperature changes, fatigue During this process the polymer asphalt mixing using Hot Mix Asphalt / HMA. In accordance with the name and nature of hot mix asphalt, require high enough heating temperature on the Asphalt Mixing Plant (AMP), and also requires a high temperature compaction. As a result, it takes quite a lot of fuel so produced a large exhaust emissions. Emissions generated during the mixing process and compaction of HMA is a challenge for the environment. Some countries have developed a method of asphalt mixture to overcome this by using Warm Mix Asphalt technology. Warm Mix Asphalt is the technology of mixing and compaction temperatures of asphalt mixtures using mixing and compaction temperatures lower than Hot Mix Asphalt. Decreasing the mixing and compaction temperatures by adding additives to the asphalt mixture. Types of additives that have been widely used and developed for Warm Mix Asphalt them is the use of synthetic zeolites with various trademarks such as Aspha-min (R), Sasobit(R) dan Advera(R). In this paper the synthetic zeolite will be replaced by natural zeolite as an additive to be mixed with a mixture of Polymer Modified Asphalt Concrete. This study uses laboratory testing, using aggregate materials from Subang, West Java, Asphalt Elastomer Polymers, natural zeolite mineral mordenite sourced from Bayat, Central Java, Indonesia. Tests using a mixture Marshall Test. Marshall test results stated that the levels of natural zeolite 1% can reduce the temperature of mixing and compaction temperatures on Polymer Modified Concrete Asphalt mix 30°C, lower than the temperature of the mixture of Polymer Modified Asphalt Concrete without zeolite.

The major goal of sustainable practices is to preserve raw resources through the utilization of waste materials as an alternative to natural resources. Decreasing the temperature required to produce asphalt mixes contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing energy consumption and toxic emissions. In this study, warm mix asphalt incorporating coarse steel slag aggregates was investigated. Warm mix asphalt was produced at different temperatures lower than the control asphalt mixes (hot mix asphalt) by 10, 20, and 30 °C. The performances of the control and warm mix asphalt were assessed through laboratory tests examining stiffness modulus, dynamic creep, and moisture sensitivity. Furthermore, a response surface methodology (RSM) was conducted by means of DESIGN EXPERT 11 to develop prediction models for the performance of warm mix asphalt. The findings of this study illustrate that producing warm mix asphalt at a temperature 10 °C lower than that of hot mix asphalt exhibited the best results, compared to the other mixes. Additionally, the warm mix asphalt produced at 30 °C lower than the hot mix asphalt exhibited comparable performance to the hot mix asphalt. However, as the production temperature increases, the performance of the warm mix asphalt improves.

In this paper, the effects of the main asphalt concrete characteristics including the binder type and the air void percentage on the cohesive zone model (CZM) parameters were studied. Experimental tests were conducted on semi-circular bend (SCB) specimens made of asphalt concrete and the fracture behavior was simulated using a proper CZM. The CZM parameters of various hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures were determined using the SCB experimental results. Five types of HMA mixtures were tested and modeled to consider the effects of binder type and air void percentage on the CZM parameters. The results showed that as the binder in HMA mixture softened, the cohesive energy strength increased, whereas enhancing the air void percentage led to reduction of the cohesive energy and strength values. Among the studied HMA mixtures, the highest values of CZM parameters were found for the HMA mixture containing a copolymer called styrene-butadiene-styrene.

Sifat volumetrik campuran pada laston merupakan salah satu faktor yang menentukan durabilitas (keawetan) lapis perkerasan jalan. Untuk meningkatkan keawetan lapis perkerasan jalan dan mengurangi dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan dapat dilakukan antara lain melalui modifikasi aspal dengan getah pinus dan limbah styrofoam. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji sifat volumetrik campuran laston menggunakan aspal modifikasi getah pinus dan limbah styrofoam tersebut. Sifat volumetrik campuran laston yang dikaji adalah rongga dalam campuran, rongga di antara mineral agregat, rongga terselimuti aspal, density dan bulk specific gravity. Pada penelitian ini digunakan agregat bergradasi rapat yang dicampur dengan aspal modifikasi pada suhu 155 oC dan dipadatkan 75 kali pada kedua sisinya. Pada seluruh benda uji, prosentase limbah styrofoam yang digunakan adalah 6% sedangkan getah pinus sebesar 0%, 1%, 2% dan 3% terhadap berat aspal modifikasi.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa campuran laston yang menggunakan aspal modifikasi getah pinus menghasilkan nilai VFB, density dan bulk specific gravity lebih besar serta nilai VIM dan VMA lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan campuran yang menggunakan aspal modifikasi limbah styrofoam. Dengan nilai VIM dan VMA lebih kecil, campuran yang menggunakan aspal modifikasi getah pinus menghasilkan daya ikat lebih kuat sehingga memiliki durabilitas lebih tinggi. Ditinjau dari persyaratan laston sebagai lapis aus pada perkerasan jalan, penggunaan getah pinus dan limbah styrofoam sebagai modifier aspal memenuhi persyaratan volumetrik campuran. Volumetric properties of asphalt concrete is important factor to determine the durability of road pavement. Improvement the durability of road pavement and reducing negative impact of the environment can be done by using modified asphalt. This article aims to know the volumetric properties of  hot mix asphalt using pine resin and waste styrofoam as asphalt modifier. The volumetric properties include voids in mix, voids in the mineral aggregate, voids filled with bitumen, density and bulk specific gravity.  In this study, a continuously graded aggregate was used and mixed with modified asphalt at 155 oC and compacted with 75 blows on both sides. The percentage of waste styrofoam was 6% whereas the percentages of pine resin where  0%, 1%, 2% and 3% by weight of modified asphalt. From the analysis, it can be concluded that asphalt concrete containing pine resin as  modifier strengthen the binding between asphalt and agregate, due to increasing value of voids filled with bitumen (VFB), density and bulk specific gravity. Durability of asphalt concrete using pine resin as modifier was higher than that of asphalt concrete using waste styrofoam because of decreasing value of voids in mix (VIM) and voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA). Based on the specification of  asphalt concrete wearing course, the use of pine resin and waste styrofoam as asphalt modifier has fulfilled volumetric properties requirements.
