  • Asphalt Concrete - Binder Course (AC-BC) is one part of the pavement layer that serves as a layer between the resist maximum loads due to traffic loads. Limestone is one of the industrial minerals are widely used by industry sectors, including road stabilization material. The purpose of this research is to determine the optimum asphalt content, stability, melting, VIM, VMA, VFA, and Marshall Quotient in asphalt concrete – binder course mixtures that use limestone as a substitute for fine aggregate. Based on the results of Marshall test, the KAO values are obtained with the proportion of limestone 0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% that is equal to 6.5%, 7.4%, 7.55%, 8.05%, 9 , 25%, and 10.05%. Value for the stability of the proportion of limestone 0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% is equal to 2400kg, 2600 kg, 2700 kg, 3200 kg, 2800 kg and 2750 kg. From the results of this test above, it is stated that the use of limestone as a substitute for fine aggregate in asphalt concrete – binder course maximum at levels of 50%.
