THE INFLUENCES ADDITION OF PET (POLYETHTYLENE TEREPTHALATE) TYPE OF PLASTIC BOTTLE WASTE AS ADDITIVE TO ASPHALT MIX AC-BC

Abstract

The problem of waste in Indonesia is a problem that has not been resolved until now, especially plastic waste. If there are amount of plastic waste and the plastics are difficult to decompose on the ground and sea, it means the surrounding environment will be polluted. As known that disposable drinking bottle waste is often found in the surrounding environment. Considering the problem above, this study is important to do to see that a lot of plastic bottle waste is wasted and there is no function value. Therefore, the use of plastic as an alternative added material is expected to improve the quality of asphalt concrete pavement. Based on the study, it was found that the addition of PET from vaiations of 0%, 1%, 1,5%, 2%, 2,5% obtained the appropriate content at 1% variation with a stability value of 1548,59 kg increased on 4,078% from normal asphalt content than without PET mixture. It has better resistence with a VIM value of 4.08% followed by a VMA value of 17,56%, while MQ value with the addition of 1% variation of PET of 288,80 kg/mm with specification of Bina Marga 2018 minimum 250 kg/mm which has met tha requirements
