Popis: One attempt to avoid early pavement damage is to enhance asphalt quality as an aggregate binder. The addition of polymeric materials is frequently used to improve asphalt quality, particularly asphalt rigidity. Increased rigidity will enhance pavement performance against rutting, bleeding, and swelling, particularly in summer with a relatively elevated temperature. This study uses High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) polymer waste as a modifier in a mixture of Asphalt Concrete-Wearing Course (AC-WC) which also utilizes RAP waste as a coarse aggregate substitute. The aim of this study is to analyse the to analyse effect of waste materials on the AC-WC performance. Analysis was carried out after the Marshall test to obtain the values of air void, Void in Mineral Aggregate (VMA), Void Filled with Asphalt (VFA) stability, flow and Marshall Quotient (MQ). Marshall samples prepared with dry method modified HDPE asphalt binder, given a limit on the specifications of the number of each specimen. The percentage of HDPE as asphalt mixture is 0%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2.0%, 2.2%, and 2.4% asphalt weight. The optimum asphalt level (KAO) used is 5.25%. Marshall test shows that the addition of 1.6% of HDPE in the AC-WC mixture and RAP can increase mixture stability by 1.74% and flow by 3.69%.
