Abstract. The needs of petroleum asphalt as materials for pavement is very large, while the
petroleum classified as natural resources that cannot be renewable. As a result of petroleum
dwindling and prices tend to be more expensive. So that requiring other alternative materials as
a substitute for conventional asphalt derived from biomass or often called bioasphalt. This
study aims to know the volumetric and Marshall characteristics on Asphalt Cement ( AC )
using the Damar asphalt modification to substitute 60/70 penetration asphalt as a binder. The
volumetric and Marshall characteristic are porosity, density, flow, stability, and Marshall
quotient. The characteristic of asphalt concrete at optimum bitumen content are compared to
the conditions from highway agency 1987 and the general specification of asphalt concrete
Bina Marga 2010 the third revision. The research uses experimental method in the laboratory
with the samples made using the dasphalt modification as binder and incorporating the
aggregate gradation no. VII SNI 03-1737-1989. The research is using 15 samples divided into
5 contents of damar asphalt, they are 5%, 5,5%, 6%, 6,5%, dan 7%. Tests carried out using
Marshall test equipment to get the value of flow and stability and then be searched the value of
optimum damar asphalt content. The result of asphalt concrete analysis using dasphalt
modification as binder gives the value of optimum dasphalt content at 5,242%. The most
characteristics already met the requirements and specifications.
1. Introduction
Demand for asphalt as pavement construction, whether for maintenance, improvement, or
development of accessibility of road transport continues to increase along with the growth of the
construction. The needs of asphalt as materials for road pavement are very huge. Concerns rise with
the increasing price of petroleum in this decade. Thus requiring other alternative materials as a
substitute for conventional asphalt, there is asphalt derived from biomass or often called bioasphalt.
Previous studies have been conducted on a substitute for asphalt modification of dasphalt in terms of
the nature of the properties with a mixture of resin, oil, latex, and fly-ash [1,2]. Through the results of
the examination conducted at the Highway Laboratory, Sebelas Maret University, the data generated
are demanded to carry out for further research on the application of bioasphalt into asphalt mixture,
such as asphalt concrete which is the most applied in Indonesian pavement. Asphalt concrete is a
mixture of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and filler with a binder in high temperature conditions
with the composition examined and regulated by the technical specifications. Hot mix asphalt

Oil is the part of traditional damar asphalt production called jabung. Jabung often used by
silversmiths to engrave silver bearing. Jabung can be created using the new cooking oil or used
without significant difference. A striking difference is only on a smell of jabung produced. From
previous studies it was concluded that the addition of oil may affect the content of ductility and
elasticity in dasphalt [1].
Fly ash is a material which is derived from the burning of coal in power generation, so that all its
properties are also determined by the composition and properties of the minerals and impurities in the
coal combustion process. In this coal combustion process coal ash melting point higher than the
combustion temperature. And these conditions produce ash has a very fine granular texture. Coal fly
ash consists of fine grains are generally spherical solid or hollow. The particle size of the fly ash
bituminous coal combustion products of less than 0,075mm. The grain size of the fly ash is very fine,
ranging up to 88%.
Examination of dasphalt properties aims to determine whether it meets the criteria or similarity
with bitumen based RSNI S-01-2003 (Requirements for Hard Asphalt Penetration) [6]. The properties
examined are dasphalt penetration, softening point, flash point, ductility, solubility in Trichlor
Ethylene, weight, and density. In this study the nature of the inspection results data modification
dasphalt properties are secondary data obtained from the results of previous research conducted [1,2].
2.2 Methods
In this study, the test is generally done consists of five stages, stage I which is the analysis of
aggregates to determine the physical properties such as density and water absorption of the aggregates
used in the asphalt concrete mixture, the results have been presented in Table 1 and Table 2 for coarse
and fine aggregate, respectively. Second stage was producing a bioasphalt binder from damar asphalt
modified with some ingredients [1,2] called damar asphalt. In the production of dasphalt, the
manufacturing process is done by simple heating, while the composition is applied is a composition
referring to the results of previous studies. Third stage is the job mix design using no VII aggregate
gradation from SNI 03-1737-1989 (Modalities Laston Concrete Coatings for Highway) [7]. Fourth
phase IV is the Marshall Test, the purpose of this test is to determine the value of Marshall stability
and Marshall flow of the asphalt concrete mixture with dasphalt binder based on RSNI M-01-2003
(Test Method Asphalt Mixture heat with Marshall Tool) [8]. Phase V is the data processing of the
results of volumetric properties, namely density, voids in the mixture (VIM), and Marshall properties
namely stability, flow and Marshall quotien.
In this study, after the data obtained from the test results and Marshall volumetric data analysis
using regression analysis in which the regression equation can describe the behavior of the test results.
Regression is a line that forms a function that connects the dots with the proximity as possible.
Correlation is a measure of the suitability of a regression model were used as data. The magnitude of

the correlation is denoted by the letter r, where r = 0 means no correlation at all between the two
variables analyzed. Conversely, if r = ± 1 then there is a strong relationship between the variables. The
dasphalt optimum content was calculated from the regression equation to determine the content at the
optimum Marshall stability. The asphalt concrete mixture at optimum dasphalt content were then
produced to find the Volumetric and Marshall and compared to the requirements and specifications.
3.2 Density
Based on a linear regression analysis on the value of density, linear equations with coefficients
obtained negative x. This proves that the increasing dasphalt contents in the composition of the
mixture will decrease the density values. The value of the density at optimum dasphalt content is
2.401 gr/cm3. Based on the test requirements of Highways 1987 Marshall density value was 2 g/cm3 -
3 gr/cm3, so for the value of density at optimum dasphalt content already meet the requirements.
Addition of dasphalt contents can cause the value of density in the test specimen more decreases. This
is due to the reduced weight of the aggregate in the mix along with increasing the contents of dasphalt.
The conditions set by the density value of Highways (1987) is 2-3 g/cm3. Thus, the density values of
all specimens are qualified specification of asphalt concrete.
3.3 Porosity
Based on linear regression analysis of the voids in the mixture, obtained with a coefficient of linear
equations x is negative. This proves that the increasing dasphalt contents in the composition of the
mixture will decrease the value of voids in the mixture (porosity). The value of porosity at optimum
dasphalt contents is 2.474%. Based on Marshall Test Requirements and Specifications Highways 1987
General of Highways, 2010 (Revision 3) porosity value was 3% - 5%, so for the porosity at optimum
dasphalt contents not meet the requirements and specifications. However, it could be improved by
changing the aggregate gradation.

value of Marshall stability for all specimens has been qualified to the specification of asphalt concrete
mixture.
Thus the quadratic equation, to find the extreme points on the axis x is
