Coarse aggregates derived from rock are commonly used as road pavement materials that meet the applicable specifications. This study uses rock aggregates originating from the polymeric area of Jayapura City, and this type is widely found in various areas of northern Papua. The study was conducted to determine the effect of local Papuan coral aggregates on the AC-WC Laston value. According to the 2018 General Specifications of Highways; namely, the added filler material must be dry and free from clumps and when tested by sieving according to SNI ASTM C136: 2012. The test results obtained characteristic values on the use of coral as follows: The highest density value at 4.5% asphalt content and the lowest 5.5% and 6.5%. The VMA value obtained is unstable, but all asphalt content meets Bina Marga Specifications 2010 Revision III, namely with a minimum VMA value of 15%, the highest VIM value of 3-5%, VFA values tend to increase but experience a decrease in asphalt content of 5.5% and 6.5%. The results of the Marshall test on coral material in the AC-WC layer are the high strength value 5495.89 kg, density: 1.74 gr/cm3, VMA: 24.42%, VIM: 15.83 %, VFA: 0.01%, flow: 10.00 mm, and MQ of 348.03 mm/kg. The value of Optimum Asphalt Content (KAO) used as AC-WC layer is 5.5%.
