Abstract

Every year, A huge of plastic waste is produced, however it needs a long time to decompose. By the use of plastic, it hopes the increase of asphalt mixture resistance against the temperature and elasticity while adding the scoria basalt rock as the aggregate. This study was conducted to determine the effect of using plastic bags as a mixture on the asphalt concrete-wearing course (AC-WC) using scoria basalt aggregate. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of Marshall parameters after adding the plastic and scoria basalt aggregate in the asphalt concrete-wearing course (AC-WC) mixture. As the result, the value of Optimum Asphalt Content (KAO) obtained is 6.6%. Marshall parameters such as VIM, VFA, VMA, MQ and Flow have also met the requirements of the 2010 Highways Specification.
