Abstract

The demand for road construction in Malaysia keep increasing every year which will lead to demand of more filler. In the future, the percentage of filler in asphalt mixture will be increased and the cost of road construction also will be increased. Besides, the process of getting filler is difficult and the amount that will get is in small quantity. Therefore, it can be concluded that demand for filler content in road construction is higher. Since the price for limestone filler is costly, the used of crushed cockle shell has been introduced. This is because cockle shell is one of the waste material that consist of Calcium Carbonate which has the same characteristic as filler. It is one of the effective way to reduce the cost for road construction. There are three stages in this study which are identify the physical properties of crushed cockle's shell, optimum asphalt content (OAC) determination and the performance tests. For identifying the physical properties of the crushed cockle's shell, the test that will be performed are LA abrasion test and soundness test. The result obtained will be compared with JKR standard. The next stage is to determine the OAC for both conventional and crushed cockle's shell sample. The testing that will be conducted are Density and Air Void, Resilient Modulus, and Marshall Stability. The final stage is the performance analysis which are fatigue and rutting test. The performance test is done by using the OAC obtain in the stage before which shows that crushed cockle's shell can be replaced as filler in asphalt mixture. From the results obtained, the OAC for conventional sample is 5.1 % while for crushed cockle's shell is 5.2%.
