The 19th JOINT WORKSHOP HELD IN BANDUNG, BOGOR,Indonesia
1st to 2nd March, 2018
Institute of Road Engineering in Indonesia (IRE) and NILIM have carried out joint researchof road and traffic fields. PWRI is also participating in the joint research as a cooperator ofNILIM.
The 20th Joint Workshop was held in Bandung and Bogor, Indonesia by PWRI and IRE on
1st to 2nd March, 2018.
The activities of 20th Joint Workshop are the discussion on Pavement and Site visit on the trial
construction site of AsButon.
1. ContentsDiscussion on Pavement and Site visit on the trial construction of AsButon
IRE, NILIM and PWRI have carried out joint research on utilization of AsButon which isIndonesian natural rock asphalt. In this workshop, IRE and PWRI went to the trialconstruction site of steel deck pavement using AsButon guss asphalt mixture, it has been
conducting by IRE in Bogor. Then, IRE and PWRI discussed on "Manual for using AsButon asguss asphalt mixture" in IRE.
The trial construction site is Cisadane Bridge which is located in Bogor, it is a truss bridge,150m (50m×3 spans) in length, 6m in width. One span (50m) of this bridge have been pavedwith AsButon guss asphalt, the other spans have been paved with one layer of dense-gradedasphalt mixture.
Regarding surface condition after in service, the trial section of AsButon guss asphalt wasless damaged than the other section.
IRE and PWRI researchers had various discussion of technical matters on this bridge, suchas producing guss asphalt mixture, construction methods and traffic conditions.
On the meeting in IRE, both researchers had discussed about " Manual for using AsButon asguss asphalt mixture " Then it was decided that the manual will be updated, on the basis of
the result of trial construction in Bogor, to reflect the condition of material conditions andconstruction procedures in Indonesia.
In addition, IRE and PWRI agreed to continue the application of steel deck pavement using
AsButon guss asphalt in Indonesia and Japan (trial construction etc.) and the follow-up
research of performance in the trial construction site in Bogor.
