ABSTRACT
Indonesian natural rock asphalt is known as Asbuton (Buton asphalt) i.e. rock
asphalt from Buton Island containing bitumen of approximately 10% to 30%. Semi
extraction type of Asbuton product is available as known as modified Buton asphalt
(MBA). Research and development have been conducted to obtain better quality of
MBA based asphalt concrete. The utilization of Gondorukem (Regina Colophonia) is
expected can increase several parameters such as Marshall stability and indirect
tensile strength (ITS) of asphalt concrete. The national and regional road
infrastructure development in Indonesia can be sustained by used MBA as binder and
Gondorukem as additive in pavement material.
The aim of this study is to investigate the properties of asphalt concrete wearing
course (AC-WC) mixture using MBA as binder and Gondorukem as additive. The
result of Marshall stability and ITS tests showed the sufficient of Marshall stability
and ITS can be established by proper aggregate interlocking and adhesive which
developed due to the utilization of MBA and Gondorukem in AC-WC mixture.
Keywords: Modified Buton asphalt (MBA), Gondorukem, AC-WC mixture, Marshall
