Pengaruh Abu Cangkang Pala Sebagai Subtitusi Filler Terhadap Campuran Lapisan Ac-wc
The Effect of Nutmeg Shell Ash as Filler Substitution on AC-WC Layer Mixture. The background of this research is based on the problems in the field. The author sees that the incident in the field is very critical because it is caused by the decrease in filler material. From this, the author was moved to use nutmeg shells as a substitute for fillers in order to prevent the decrease in the decrease in fillers. The purpose of this study is to find and prove that whether nutmeg shell ash can replace or substitute filler for the AC-WC layer mixture by going through several research processes such as looking for results from examining the physical properties of the material to the Marshall Test.The research that the author is doing here is an experimental research in a laboratory. This research was conducted at the Integrated Laboratory of the University of Gorontalo. In this study, the authors made several variations for the nutmeg shell ash filler, namely 0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The results of this study are all variations tested have met the specifications of each test. The tests in question are stability, melt (flow), Void In the Mix (VIM), Void in Mineral Aggregate (VMA), Void Filled with Asphalt (VFA), Marshall Quotient (MQ).
