 ASHPALT

The term bitumen or bitumen is a liquid which is

a hydrocarbon compound with little sulfur,
oxygen, and chlorine. Asphalt as a binder in
flexible pavement has viscoelastic properties.
Asphalt will be solid at room temperature and is
liquid when heated.
Asphalt used as material in pavement function
as:

 A binder, providing a strong bond between asphalt

with aggregate and between asphalt.
 The filler, filling the cavity between the aggregate
grains in the pores present in the aggregate itself.
Characteristic of Asphalt Mixture

 Stability
 Durability
 Flexibility
 Resistance to melting
 Roughness
 water proof
 Easy to implement

 Sensitivity To Temperature

 1. Penetration Test

Asphalt pavement testing is done by penetration

testing. The meaning of penetration is the inclusion of
the needle penetration of a certain size of a certain load
and a certain time into the asphalt at a certain
temperature. Needle penetration used 1 mm in
diameter and 50 gr load. weight of needle with load to
100 gr. The test is carried out at 25C.
The results of this test can then be used in the
work of asphalt quality control or hard and for the
purposes of development or road maintenance. This
penetration test refers to SNI 06-2456-1991

 2. Soft Point Test

Asphalt sensitivity test is carried out by testing softening point.

The softening point is the temperature at which the steel ball is of a
certain weight, pushing down the asphalt layer retained in a certain
ring, so that the asphalt touches the bottom plate located below the
ring at a distance of 25.4 mm, as a result of a certain heating rate.
Asphalt as a viscoelastic material without proper pinpointing of soft
spots, it gradually becomes less viscous and dilute when the
temperature rises.
For this reason, the softening point test should be tested by
standard test. The softening point inside the asphalt requirements, for
consistency in delivery or supply. The softening point can be indicative
of the tendency of the asphalt to soften due to the rise in temperature
on the pavement. Methods and procedures for soft spot testing refer
to SNI No.06-2434-1991.

 3. Flash Point Test

The notion of a flash point is the temperature at

which the visible flame is short of less than 5 seconds at
a point above the asphalt surface, while the burning
point is the temperature at visible flame at least 5
seconds at a point on the asphalt surface. The test
method is carried out by referring to SNI 06-2433-1991.
This method is intended as a reference and a deep grip.

 4. Ductility Test

Asphalt ductility is the elasticity value of asphalt,

measured from the longest distance, when between two
prints containing hard bitumen drawn before breaking at
25C and at a speed of 50 mm/min. The testing procedure
follows SNI 06 -2432-1991.
Ductility testing is done by printing asphalt in the mold
and placing asphalt samples into the test site.
The test site (tub) contains fluid and is carried out at 25 °
C. The value of asphalt ductility is the length of the asphalt
sample when it breaks during withdrawal. The unit of the
asphalt ductility value is centi meter (cm).

 5. Type Weight Test

Asphalt weight is the ratio between the weight of solid

asphalt and the weight of distilled water with the same at
25C or 25.6C. Asphalt weight testing method refers to SNI
06-2441-1991.
The scope of this testing method is carried out on all solid
asphalt and the results can be used in mixed planning work
as well as quality control of road hardening. In addition, this
method as a reference and handle in the implementation of
asphalt type weight in order to determine the solid type of
solid asphalt.
 6. Solubility Test

Solubility Testing is done by referring to RSNI M-04-

2004. The asphalt solubility test was conducted to
determine the degree of solubility in tricholoroethylene
(TCE) on asphalt materials that did not or contain
minerals.
 7. Weight Loss Testing

What is meant by the weight reduction of oil and asphalt

is the difference in weight before and after heating at a
certain thickness at a certain temperature. Weight loss
testing method refers to SNI 06-2440-1991. This test method
is carried out on asphalt by finding the amount of weight loss
of oil and asphalt by way of A ie thin layer way.
Furthermore, the test results are used to determine the
stability of asphalt after heating. In addition it can be used to
determine changes in the physical properties of asphalt
during hot mixing in AMP at a temperature of 163 ° C
expressed by penetration, ductility and viscosity.
The amount of weight loss of asphalt can be
calculated by the following formula:

Where:
A = The weight of the original test object
B = Weight of specimen after heating
8. Tests of Thermal Properties With
Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA)

The thermal properties test is carried out by merode

Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). Differential Thermal
Analysis (DTA) is a frequently used method for
quantitative studies of thermal transitions in polymers.
In the Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) method, a
polymer and reference sample is heated in the nitrogen
atmosphere, and then the thermal transitions in the
sample are detected and measured.
 9. Asphalt Marshall Testing

The performance test of solid asphalt concrete was done by

Marshall test which was first developed by Bruce Marshall and
continued by U.S. Corps Engineer. The performance of solid asphalt
concrete is determined through the test specimen which includes:
1) Testing the weight of the volume of the specimen;
2) Testing the value of stability;
3) Testing of flow (flow);
4) Calculation of marshall's Quotation;
5) Calculation of various types of cavity volumes in solid asphalt
concrete (VIM, VMA and VFA) and
6) Calculation of thick blankets or asphalt film.
THAT IS ALL
