The AC-BC (Asphalt Concrete-Binder Course) pavement layer is a middle layer that sits above the AC base and beneath the wear layer. To be used in this study were the river stone and river sand, Sabbang District, and North Luwu Regency in Mixed Laston AC-BC. With varying marble ash contents of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%, experiments were conducted on the characteristics of coarse and fine aggregate as well as marble ash as a filler substitute. The composition of the AC-BC mixture was then designed, the mix properties were determined by the Marshall test, and the Marshall stability residual mix at the optimal bitumen concentration was determined by the Marshall immersion test. The findings demonstrated that the pavement materials, located in Sabbang District, North Luwu Regency, meet the requirements for use as road pavement layer materials. The characteristics of the AC-BC combination with asphalt contents of 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0% were determined by the Marshall Test. The results of the Marshall Immersion test for the AC-BC mixture with an ideal bitumen content of 6.00% produced a residual Marshall stability of 96.5%, fulfilling the Indonesian requirement of 2018 Bina Marga Specifications, which is a minimum of 90%.
