Abstract
Plastic waste processing is a problem that almost several countries in the Asian region are unable to overcome. One of the latest innovations carried out in the field of road pavement construction is mixing HDPE type plastic waste that has been processed into plastic seeds into the asphalt concrete mixture. Previous research has shown that HDPE plastic waste may be reused to improve the physical properties of temperature-sensitive asphalt and improve the stability of asphalt concrete. This study was conducted to determine the effect of using HDPE plastic ore as a mixed additive on the Asphalt Concrete-Wearing Course (AC-WC) using Marshall parameters. Marshall Parameters used are stability, flow, VIM, VMA, VFA, and MQ. The study was conducted in a laboratory by testing 42 samples with different levels of HDPE plastic seeds, mixed using wet methods to determine Marshall Characteristics. Manufacture of test objects using asphalt type, which has a penetration rate of 60/70. The initial research results showed that the optimal asphalt content (OAC) is 5.5%, with the percentage content of HDPE plastic seeds around 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7% compared to asphalt weight. The results showed that the effect of HDPE plastic seed content on the AC-WC mixture increased the value of Marshall Characteristics and met all the requirements of SNI 06-2489-1991. This finding shows that HDPE plastic seeds deserve to be an alternative material for road pavements. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091744 Full Text: PDF
Highlights
Asphalt, Concrete Layer is one type of asphalt layer
The most excellent Marshall Quotient (MQ) value is 4%, which equals 411 kg/mm, while the lowest value is 0%, which equals 343 kg/mm. This means that adding a particular amount of HDPE plastic seeds can raise the MQ value until it reaches a maximum of 32 percent of the control combination
The results showed that HDPE plastic seeds in Asphalt Concrete-Wearing Course (AC-WC) concrete asphalt mixture meet SNI 06-2489-1991 requirements
Summary
A layer of asphalt concrete that serves as a street development cover is possible This layer is made up of totals, fillers, and folios that have been blended and dispersed at a specific temperature. Inadequate asphalt execution caused by insufficiencies in the concrete mix can cause premature damage to street asphalt. The repurposing and use of such squander cloth are an option designed to alleviate the problems associated with urban squander With this in mind, expanding the use of Tall Thickness Polyethylene (HDPE) in street asphalt could be a viable option for reducing plastic waste [6, 7]. The use of asphalt-added materials such as HDPE appears to be making progress in terms of asphalt resistance, including distortion rate, weakness, and grip [10,11,12]. Examples of standard asphalt mixtures without the addition of HDPE were employed
