ABSTRACT The road surface layer with open graded mixture (porous asphalt mixture) has been developed in order to allow water to pass through the pores in the pavement to drain into the sewer. The porous asphalt mixture provides more pores capable of storing more asphalt which will provide more pliability for asphalt concrete. The study aims to investigate the performance of pavement of porous asphalt mixture using petroleum asphalt (pen.60/70) and polymer modified binder stabilised with polypropylene. The use of both types of asphalt mixed with polypropylene is to make it more viscous as to thicken the laminating cover of the surface which will serve as hinges that would secure better layer pliability. The analysis of the performance of porous asphalt mixture was carried out with Marshall Method andparameter tests such stability, cantabro loss, porosity, permeability, and binder drain down and (new to the study) penetration index. The study reveals that the value of stability of the polymer asphalt mixture is 833.78 kg, higher than that of the petroleum asphalt which is 685.85 kg and the cantabro loss (CL)value is 11.62%, lower than that of the petroleum asphalt which is 13.15%. The study concludes that the performance of porous asphalt mixed with polymer experience a significant increase compared to that of petroleum asphalt (pen 60/70) and the polypropylene fiber addition to both mixtures shows an increase in asphalt penetration index with positive value of IP causing the asphalt possessing good stiffness modulus index and resistant to plastic deformation. Keywords: Porous Asphalt Mixture, Polymer, Polypropylene. 1.

and size of stone so as to result in pores and better pliability (Suhartono, 2010). Porous asphalt mixture is a specifically planned mixture for road pavement when applied in the field sooner after the spreading and hardening may contain pores between 15 to 25%. Larger percentage of pores constitutes the drainage network in the pavement layer to drain water to the side channels.Such mixture has been developed in several countries to provide safety and convenience when driving. National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) in 2003 had promoted Open Graded Friction Course (OGFC) as a new generation of flexible pavement. The study indicates a good result with pore content of 18%. Porous asphalt mixture has a lot of advantages for the road users and the environment such as drainage function and safety road travel (Sugeng B., 2003). According to Setiawan (2005) asphalt porous mixture of pavement layer is open graded spread on water proof asphalt layer. This porous asphalt layer can provide safety effectively particularly during the rainy season to prevent aquaplaning. Besides, porous asphalt layer better surface roughness which will reduce noise. Porous asphalt mixture has an excellent absorptive function supported by its porosity nature therefore there should be a specific study on its absorption capacity. (Nur Ali, 2012). Kuijpers A. and Bolkland V.(2000) carried out a study of optimum modelling of porous asphalt pavement which was capable of reducing noise 1 to 2 dB(A).The porous asphalt pavement in the road section of Ezeiza Canuelas, Argentina in 2001 used open graded maximum size of aggregate 19mm resulting in pores between 22% 25%, while the hydraulic conductivity was far better reducing surface noise and a high friction properties (Pablo. E.B, 2001). The same study has been carried out by Raaberg J, et al (2002). The problem with porous asphalt pavement lies in structural value of the pavement such as low stability value as compared to solid pavement. The efforts to increase the strength ofporous asphalt pavement completeness to made one of them is by fiber stabilisation of the porous asphalt pavement. The type and size of fiber have to be modifiable to increase the performance of the stability of the mixture and to hinder the speed of crackingpavement. The fiber materials in the road pavement are believed by some researchers to be able to increase the pavements performance. Jiang et al conducting a study in 1993 stated that polypropylene was capable of reducing reflective crack in asphalt pavement. The study in general used fiber in the pavement with tight gradation therefore it is possible to use fiber in porous asphalt mixture. II. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. Open Graded Porous Asphalt Pavement with open graded porous asphalt mixture has been introduced in several countries, most of all in the United States of America. Iowa Stormwater Management(2009) and UNHC (2007) recommended gradation of OGFC (open graded fraction course) as seen in Table 1. Table 1.

Figure 1. Combined Gradation 3.2. The Test Result of Asphalt Physical Characteristics The asphalt materials used in the study are petroleum-based asphalt pen.60/70 and Grade E55 type of polymer asphalt. The sensitivity of asphalt against the changing temperature can be easily identifiable when the characteristics of asphalt are expressed in penetration index (PI). The PI value of asphalt is between -3 and +7. The asphalt with high PI value will result in asphalt mixture which has stiffness and resistance modulus against high deformation. (Shell, 1995). The complete result of the asphalt 60/70 and polymer tests can be seen in the following Table 5 and 6: Table 5.

Tables 5 and 6 reveal the result of physical tests of petroleum-based asphalt 60/70 and polymer asphalt. They indicate that the results have fulfilled the standard of the existing specifications. Both types of asphalt can be used in the porous asphalt mixture or open graded. 3.3. Penetration Index (PI) Analysis The penetration index in Figure 2 is -0.60 in 100% content of petroleum-based asphalt (no added fiber) while in the fiber-added variation in Figure 3 the penetration index changes to -0.50. In Figure 4, Polymer asphalt with 1% fiber added indicates a penetration index of +0.20. The results prove that the penetration index is positive and that the performance of the asphalt shows stiffness and endurance moduli against deformation.

Figure 13. Binder drain down vs Cantabro loss In Figure 5, the relationship between stability and permeability standard parameter fulfils all bonding materials both petroleum-based asphalt and polymer one, with a minimal stability standard of 500 kg and minimal permeability standard of 0.1 cm/second. From such relationship it can be said that the type of binder material of polymer asphalt added with polypropylene 1% provides a high

stability value compared to petroleum-based asphalt penetration 60/70. In Figure 6, the relationship between the parameter of cantabro loss and the one of stability indicates that the type of polymer asphalt added with 1% polypropylene fiber gives a stability value of > 500 kg and better cantabro loss than any other asphalt type. This is because polymer asphalt has far better power of interlocking in the aggregate. The cantabro loss value in polymer asphalt with 4.5% asphalt content is not met because of the lack of asphalt content in the aggregate mixture. The relationship of the parameters in Figure 7 between stability and porosity fulfils all the existing standards required by the study. This indicates that the mixture of petroleum-based asphalt and polymer one with open graded used with coarser aggregate providing grater space among aggregates. The objective of using porous asphalt is therefore met. The relationship between porosity andbinder drain down in Figure 9 as well asthe relationship between the permeability and binder drain down in Figure 10, indicate that both petroleum-based asphalt and polymer asphalt meet the existing standard. This proves that with sufficient pores in the mixture, water will penetrate through the pavement. The sufficient pores also allow asphalt to cover all aggregate in the mixture with binder drain down standard value no more than 0.3%. In Figure 11, the parameter relationship between cantabro loss and porosity shows that the polymer asphalt type is far better than the petroleum-based asphalt of 60/70 penetration, although asphalt content of 4.5% is not recommended due to its high cantabro loss value. This may be so because the less the asphalt content is and the more the pores exist, the higher the cantabro loss value will be. In Figure 12, the relationship between cantabro loss and permeability parameters as well as cantabro-loss and binder drain down in Figure 13 in terms of polymer asphalt, they both have sufficiently good values but not recommended for 4.5% asphalt content. 3.5. Porous Asphalt Performance in an Optimum Condition The comparison of the performance of porous asphalt mixture of two different types of asphalt (petroleum-based and polymer) being stabilised with optimum fiber of 1% and an optimum asphalt content of 5.75% can be seen in Table 7: Table 7. The comparison of the performance of porous asphalt mixture of different types of asphalt
Asphalt Type Petroleumbased Asphalt Polymer Asphalt Polypropylene Fiber (%) Optimum (1) Optimum (1) Asphalt Content (%) 5,75 5,75 Porosity (%) 16,28 16,18 Porous Asphalt Mixture Paramaters Permeability BDD Stability Cantabro (cm/sec) (%) (kg) Loss (%) 0,175 0,157 0,140 0,091 685,85 833,78 13,15 11,62

Table 7 shows that the performance of porous asphalt with polymer stabilised with polypropylene fiber is much better particularly of the stability value which significantly increases and Similarly, the cantabro loss value which tends to decrease in the use of polymer asphalt. IV. CONCLUSION The parameter test of the porous pavement mixture using petroleum asphalt and modified polymer asphalt stabilised with polypropylene fiber can be concluded as follow: a. The polymer porous asphalt mixture experiences a significant increase in its performance compared to petroleum-based asphalt (pen. 60/70). b. The use of polymer asphalt stabilized polypropylene fiber will increase the value of the strength of the mixture is characterized by the increased value of the stability of the mixture and the decrease of the cantabro loss value.
