Abstract

Road is one of the important infrastructures in facilitating the mobility of goods and services in order to improve the national economy, but most of the roads are damaged by the effects of weather. The rain water interusion into the pavement layer make accelerates erosion process. The asphalt erosion process on the aggregate adhesion causing road damage. It needs a material can coate the aggregate so that of the erosion can be minimized. The Materials can be used to covered aggregate surface is Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE ) plastic waste. The volume of LDPE plastic waste used as much as 5%, 7% and 10% of the aggregate sieve retained no.8. LDPE plastic waste is made in the form a plastic waste pieces and the test sample made with 4” diameter and 2.7” width in the form of cylinder . Marshall testing was performed on all samples with the result that the addition of LDPE plastic waste can increase the stability until 63.75% compared to conventional concrete asphalt mixture
