PENGARUH PERTUMBUHAN JUMLAH KENDARAAN TERHADAP UMUR RENCANA PERKERASAN KAKU PADA JALAN KARYA JAYA MEDAN

Abstract

Karya Jaya street is a road section located in Medan city. This road is often used by heavy vehicles laden with goods, so there is the potential for frequent overloading violations. Given these problems, this research was aimed at evaluating the effect of excessive load on the design life of road pavement, especially on Karya Jaya street in Medan. The research focus includes analyzing the growth in the number of vehicles and determining the remaining life of pavement with increasing traffic. The methodology used is analysis of the functional condition of roads based on the Bina Marga (BM) method. The research results show that excessive load significantly shortens the design life of the pavement, with a decrease in residual life of up to 8.34% at an 8% traffic increase. It is hoped that this research can contribute to more sustainable road infrastructure planning, maintenance and policy.
