ABSTRACT

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of disposable masks has become a necessity for health reasons and remains so even today. However, this policy has presented a new challenge in handling non-biodegradable mask waste. Similarly, construction waste like Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) requires proper management for reuse. Meanwhile, urban development and infrastructure growth have left limited open space and impervious surface layers, resulting in surface water runoff and subsequent flooding. In response to these challenges, research is necessary to explore the utilization of household waste and construction waste as components in porous pavement mixtures that can be applied to parking areas. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of incorporating mask waste and RAP into porous asphalt mixtures on Marshall parameters. The research findings reveal that adding 1% mask waste and 10% RAP to the mixture decreases permeability by 11.72%, while increasing stability by 19.96%. This indicates that the addition of mask waste and RAP can enhance the stability of the asphalt mixture according to the Marshall parameters.
