This paper evaluates the mechanical properties of porous asphalt (PA) with nanosilica (NS) modified binder in terms of its Abrasion Loss, Binder Draindown, Resilient Modulus and Moisture Susceptibility. These tests are essential to evaluate the performance of NS-PA towards the resistance of moisture induced damage, external loads, abrasion and interlocking structure of PA. Due to porous nature of PA, it is expose to moisture damage and binder draindown. Besides that, raveling is another major problem that closely related to PA. Thus, nanotechnology was promoted in this study in order to enhance the performance of PA. Six different percentages of nanosilica were mixed with PEN 60-70 type of binder in this study. Then, all these blended modified binder were used to prepare PA samples using Marshall Mix Design Method. Nanoparticle used in this study was Nanosilica with the average size of 10 to 15 nanometer. Binder Draindown Test was done using a metal basket with 3mm perforation. Then, abrasion loss value was evaluated using Los Angeles Abrasion Machine without steel ball. In accordance to Public Work Department of Malaysia Specification (JKR/SPJ/2008), it is stated that binder draindown for PA should not be more than 0.3% of total weight of sample, while abrasion loss should not be more than 15% also by weight of total sample. The results for Cantabro Loss Test and Binder Draindown Test indicated that 4% NS was the effective amount of NS to reduce the abrasion loss and binder drained of NS-PA. The maximum resilient modulus value for NS-PA was 4362 MPa while TSR value 91% (2% NS). Meanwhile, for conventional PA (0% NS), resilient modulus value was only 3036 MPa and TSR value 74%. From both tests were also concluded that the optimum amount of NS required for PA to archieved both value was 2%. It can be concluded that with proper concentration, the existence of NS is capable to enhance the physical and rheological properties of asphalt binder and at the same time it dispersed well in asphalt binder. Thus, the performance of PA with NS modified binder is also enhanced.
