摘要

The first section of the Semarang - Demak Toll Road aims to enhance connectivity between Semarang and Demak cities, while also acting as flood barrier. Given the soft soil conditions and the integration of the toll road with the sea wall structure, meticulous planning was required. This study involved assessing the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values of the subgrade to determine the most effective mixture for rigid pavement modelling. The goal was to achieve a design life that meets specified requirements. The preferred mixture, consisting of 3% rice husk ash (RHA), 6% lime, and 30% sea sand, was identified for its cost-effectiveness compared to other alternatives. Cost analysis indicated significant savings, with the base data being the most economical. Specifically, the addition of 30% sea sand resulted in a 181.45% cost increase compared to the base data, while the addition of 3% RHA and 6% lime led to a 100.08% increase. The cost difference between the mixture of 3% RHA and 6% lime and 30% sea sand was 40.76%. This study highlights the balance between performance improvements and cost efficiency in selecting subgrade materials for rigid pavement construction.
