The community needs it because the road functions to connect the source of production. Asphalt is an aggregate binding material in road pavement construction, which plays an important role in determining road pavement performance. Road Pavement, in general, uses materials that are still fairly common. This study uses a fine aggregate of crushed concrete specimens. The method used is an experiment on the addition of concrete test specimens with percentages of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. Marshall method which is the basis for calculating the stability value and flow. the results of 5 Marshall test samples of asphalt concrete mix utilizing concrete waste obtained the characteristics of the average value of the study that all had met Highways' requirements at a VMA value of 18.22%, a value of 4.22 VIM.%, VFB value 75.04%, STABILITY value 4806 kg, FLOW value 3.24 mm, and Marshall Quotient (MQ) value 14958.1 kg / mm. Keywords: Marshall Method, Laston, Concrete Test Wastes INTRODUCTION The road is a land transportation infrastructure, which is a supplementary building for traffic movement.(Hasan et al., 2020) in general, ways are below and above ground and water levels. (Government Regulation No. 34 of 2006 concerning Roads).(Syaifuddin dan Hasilani, 2013) The material to be used must meet the characteristics of flexibility, stability, durability, and water resistance.(Gunarto, 2019) Concrete Asphalt Layer is a cover for road pavement construction with structural value first developed in America by The Asphalt Institute under the name Asphalt Concrete (AC).(Borges Cabrera et al., 2017) According to the Public Works Department of Bina Marga, this mixture consists of continuous gradation aggregates with hard Asphalt, mixed, spread, and compacted in hot conditions at a specific temperature.(Widojoko & Purnamasari, 2012) The mixing temperature is determined based on the type of Asphalt to be used.(Ziari et al., 2019) Whereas what is meant by continuous gradation is a composition that shows an even distribution of grains ranging from the most significant size to the smallest size.(Dalhat et al., 2020) Asphalt concrete with continuous gradation mixture has a composition consisting of coarse Aggregate, Fine Aggregate, mineral filler (filler), and Asphalt (bitumen) as a binder.(Zhou et al., 2019) In general, the use of asphalt pavement composition is 4-10% based on the mixture's total weight. Natural Aggregate is one of the main elements of asphalt mixture, base lane, and subbase of highways, airports, walkways, and parking lots.(Nwakaire et al., 2020) It is also an equally important material for Portland cement concrete mixtures used in rigid pavement construction, buildings, industrial facilities, and land structures.(Arabani & Mirabdolazimi, 2011) Aggregates and their fractions processed thus become essential industrial commodities for the construction sector. Natural aggregates are the main ingredient in a mixture of asphalt mailto:sumargono@unik-kediri.ac.id 79 The Spirit of Society Journal Volume 3, Number 2 March 2020 concrete and cement Portland.(Gunarto & Candra, 2019) Concrete waste of test specimens derived from sample specs can be used in asphalt mixtures to eliminate potential problems arising from disposing of materials and saving natural aggregate resources.(Fanani et al., 2017) This study uses a revised standard Marshall design method to prepare specimens that meet the minimum size and aspect ratio requirements in uniaxial testing.(Utama, 2005) The use of recycled concrete aggregates in highway construction, i.e., as an aggregate of asphalt mixture or Portland cement mixture, is one way to reduce the need for natural Aggregate because of its considerable economic and environmental benefits.(Firdaus, 2010) Uniaxial testing of laboratory specimens is useful as a measure of the relevant mechanical properties of materials as specific geometric requirements.(Manjunath et al., 2014) LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. Asphalt Asphalt or bitumen is a brown-black material that is viscoelastic. It will soften and melt if it gets enough heating and vice versa.(Lv et al., 2018) Mixing temperature is determined based on the type of Asphalt to be used. If asphalt concrete, the mixing temperature is generally between 145 ° C and 155 ° C, so hot Asphalt is called a concrete mixture.(Ahmedzade et al., 2007) This mixture is better known as a hot-mix.(Alenezi et al., 2018) The dominant properties of asphalt concrete are more desirable and will determine the type of asphalt concrete chosen.(Gupta & Bellary, 2018) It is vital when designing the sidewall thickness. Road classifications that serve light traffic must give preference to Asphalt concrete types with high durability and flexibility(Javilla et al., 2017). The initial optimum estimation of asphalt content estimates the optimal asphalt content, according to the data specifications of the trial results and errors and based on the mixing value.(Anwar, 2016) 2.2. Aggregate Aggregate is the main component of a road pavement structure that is 90-95% aggregate based on the percentage of weight, or 75-85% aggregate based on volume.(Jitsangiam et al., 2013) Thus, the quality of the pavement specified by the aggregate properties and the aggregate yield of other ingredients. A total is a collective collection of mineral materials such as sand, gravel, and broken rock. 2.3. Rough Aggregate The coarse aggregate fraction for the design is the Aggregate held by filter No. 8 (2.36 mm). It must be clean, hard, durable, and free of clays or other undesirable material.(Liu et al., 2018) Table 1.

Fine Aggregate Fine aggregates are aggregates that pass filter no. 8 (2.38 mm). (Candra et al., 2020) Fine aggregates consist of natural sand, artificial sand, slag sand, or a combination of these materials. Fine aggregates must be clean, dry, secure, and free of clays and materials which interfere and consist of granules with sharp angles and a gauze surface.(Loaiza & Colorado, 2018) Table 2.

Concrete Waste Test Objects waste is a material from the production process that can no longer. While the concrete test object waste is a real sample that is no longer in use.(Gunarto & Candra, 2019)(Moropoulou et al., 2001) The Concrete debris used in this study came from the Civil Engineering Laboratory of Kadiri University 2.6. Marshall Testing This Marshal test aims to determine the stability and stability of the asphalt mixture following SNI 06-2489-1991. Before being tested, the specimens were put in a water bath at 60 ± 1 ° C for 30 minutes.(Zhou et al., 2019) Then the samples are removed from the sink and placed in a Marshall testing machine for further testing.(Nwakaire et al., 2020) METHOD In this study, an experimental program finds the vulnerability of Asphalt concrete samples using concrete specimen waste as a fine aggregate using revised Marshall procedures.(Gyan & Univeristy, 2018) Aspect ratio. Laboratory mixtures are prepared on various gradations and asphalt content to determine the number of punch designs needed for the revised Marshall procedure.(Article & Donner, 2011) In the second phase, the specimen. After all the results of testing the physical properties of the material and by the specifications, then the planning of making test specimens and testing Marshall.
