| Summary: | The temperature in Malaysia increased every decade and overload by heavy vehicle have created a permanent pavement deformation and shorten the pavement life. A lot of studies have been done by using different methods and material to improve the properties of conventional hot mix asphalt. Therefore, this study focused to identify the properties and performance of asphalt by using cup lumps modified asphalt (CMA). This study was conducted along federal road FT 237, sec. 26-29, Daerah Kemaman, Terengganu. This study has used 5 % Cup Lump Modified Binder (CMB). The tests that were conducted to determine the CMB performance were penetration test, softening point test, flash point and Marshall test. The result shows that by adding CMB into penetration grade 60/70 has reduced the penetration value and increased the softening point temperature. For Marshall properties, the performance of the CMA is better in terms of stability and stiffness compared to AC 10 and AC 14. Thus, it can be suggested that the performance of the CMA is better compared to the conventional asphalt mixture. |
