High demand of recycling waste materials are able to solve disposal problem which created opportunities for researcher to use it in their product. Waste clay brick dust is one of the material can be improvised to be tested for the performance of porous asphalt pavement towards rutting problem. In this study, crushed dust of clay brick was used in porous asphalt mixture as mineral filler. 15 samples were produced in different proportions (4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5% and 6%) of bitumen content and each proportion have three samples. The optimum bitumen content (OBC) obtained was 4.75% for modified and 5.9% for conventional porous asphalt. Rutting Test was then tested to evaluate the performance of porous asphalt after being modified with clay dust and compared with conventional mixture of porous asphalt. Modified mixture showed a slight higher in rutting depth of 2.2 mm compared to the conventional mixture of 1.6 mm. This means that modified mixture is less in rutting strength. However, the drain down test showed that modified samples are more intact between binder and aggregate and able to sustain in high temperature. Further modifications are required to enhance rutting strength for modified mixture. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
