Abstract
The porous asphalt mixture is an asphalt mixture that consist of high void and a small proportion of fine aggregate. The presence of a high void reduces the value of marshall stability. Many attempts to increase the value of marshall stability by adding substances into the porous asphalt mixture has been done by several researchers. Modified porous asphalt can be achieved by adding gilsonite to the mixture which aims to accomplish the main function of the porous asphalt layer as well as to improve the quality of mixed performance. The method used in this study is an experimental method. The test that conducted in this study using two types of gradations that are Japan and Australia gradation. The research was Marshall characteristic test with 2.5%, 3.5%, 4.5%, 5.5%, 6.5% of gilsonite content and 0% as the control. The results showed that porous asphalt mixture using gilsonite proved to increase the value of Marshall stability compared to non-modified porous asphalt mixture by 24%. The mixture reaches a maximum state at 5.5% gilsonite content. The best performance is produced by the mixture using Japanese gradation.
