<br/><br/> Mussel Shell as a mineral filler is a substitute for mineral filler in cold mix asphalt. Due<br/>to that, the formulation of cold mix asphalt which is a different mixing procedure out of<br/>mussel shell as mineral filler was the focus of this study. Various testing methods were<br/>carried out to determine the effect of pulverized mussel shell as mineral filler in Cold<br/>Mix Asphalt such as Bulk Specific Gravity (Gmb), Marshall Stability and Flow,<br/>Maximum Theoretical Specific Gravity Incompact Mixture (Gmm), and Percent Air<br/>Voids. Emulsified Asphalt (CSS1) used as a binder in this study where the primary<br/>purpose is for tack coat in traffic roads. It has strong binding capacity mostly used as tack<br/>coat for road construction. The findings revealed that the pulverized mussel shell<br/>increases the strength of asphalt mix but decreases its flexibility referring to its flow<br/>value. But based on the result taken, the amount of stability (N) of asphalt mixture with<br/>pulverized mussel shell gives strength to asphalt mixture. Hence, this can use as mineral<br/>filler in developing the asphalt mixture.
