Comparison of Characteristics of Laston Mixed Using Conventional Asphalt and Modified Polymer Asphalt

EasyChair Preprint no. 6231

Abstract

The durability of the pavement is inseparable from the nature of the material, especially asphalt as a binder. Currently the asphalt used for road pavement has not been able to overcome various problems of damage at the beginning of  the  design  life,  especially  those  caused  by  high  temperatures,  heavy  loads  and  heavy  traffic.  According  to  Hary Christady  (2015),  there  are  4  types  of  pavement  construction  commonly  used,  namely:  flexible  pavement,  rigid pavement, composite pavement and unpaved road. The consideration of the type of pavement selected depends on the available  development  funds,  maintenance  costs,  the  volume  of  traffic  served  and  the  availability  of  time  for  road construction.  Asphalt  pavement  layers  must  have  good  strength  and  durability.  The  pavement  layer  stacking  material consists of: aggregate and asphalt as a binder. The ratio of the mixture of aggregate and asphalt depends on the needs of the type of pavement to be used. For road pavements, the materials used for pavement must be able to support traffic loads and withstand the effects of air, water and temperature changes, and must meet the specified requirements.
