Asphalt Treated Base (ATB) merupakan lapisan pondasi perkerasan yang terdiri dari campuran agregat dan aspal keras dengan perbandingan tertentu dan dipadatkan dalam keadaan panas. Dalam campuran ATB, aspal berfungsi sebagai bahan pengikat dan bahan pengisi. Hal itu disebabkan oleh aspal yang bersifat plastis dan mempunyai kecairan yang cukup.Aspal merupakan bahan yang relatif mahal walaupun kom…
Perkerasan jalan terdiri dari beberapa kelompok, yaitu kelompok struktur jalan lentur dan kelompok struktur jalan kaku. Penelitian ini berlatar belakang kineija perkerasan lentur (flexible pavement) yang terdiri dari subgarde, subbabse course, base course, dan surface course. Maka dari itu perlu dikembangkan suatu penelitian dengan beberapa pemanfaatan hasil industri yang melimpah agar dapat me…

Lapisan perkerasan kaku (rigid pavement) yang mengggunakan material beton dirancang untuk memikul beban kendaraan pada jalan itu sendiri. Ketika suatu perkerasan kaku telah mencapai akhir dari masa layanannya sehingga tidak mampu lagi untuk menahan beban lalu lintas yang berada di atasnya, maka perencana mempunyai dua pilihan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan perkerasan kaku beton tersebut yaitu den…
The project of building roads can be said to be a very high-risk project because road construction contains asphalt in the road-making raw materials. Asphalt is generally used at temperatures above 100°C. The biggest hazard is a skin burn, however, at low temperatures, bitumen also poses a health hazard, especially the poisons in the asphalt content. The purpose of this study was to analyze th…
