Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the influence of the addition of calcined potato peel on the physical and mechanical properties of hot asphalt mixes - Huánuco, 2023. Regarding the methodology, a quantitative, applied and experimental design study is used, applying the observation and the recording sheet in a sample of 45 briquettes with additions of 2.0 %, 4.0 %, 6.0 % and 8.0 % of calcined potato peel, compared with a standard sample containing 2.0 % hydrated lime, where They evaluate properties such as void content, flow resistance and stability. The results show that the best air content was 3.3 % and flow resistance was 3.4 mm, which was achieved with 2.0 % addition of calcined potato peel; However, the highest stability was obtained with 4.0 % addition, the value being 1,272.3 kg. It is concluded that, with an addition of 2.0 %, the best physical and mechanical properties of the asphalt mixtures are achieved; However, no significant variations were evident in the ANOVA test for flow resistance and stability (p > 0.05).
