ABSTRACT

The increasing in construction projects has resulted in an increasing demand for concrete. This has the potential to increase crushing test waste, becoming an environmental issue as it can create large landfills and pollute the environment. Therefore, this research aims to develop an effective and innovative solution for managing crushing test waste by reusing it in infrastructure as an aggregate substitution in asphalt mixtures. The method used was an experimental study of AC-BC paved mixtures starting with finding the Optimum Asphalt Content (KAO), then aggregate substitution with percentages of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100 at fc’25 concrete grade. Marshall testing was conducted on all test specimens to obtain the parameters for assessing the asphalt mixture. The research shows that the addition of a crushing test to the waste can change the Marshall parameters by asphalt mixtures. Thus, this solution will be the result of the negative effect by crushing test waste on the environment and improve material use efficiency in the construction industry.
