Abstract: In order to increase the use of domestic materials asbuton material is an alternative choice for use as a watertight core layer on the dam body. The experimental data to be analyzed is the relationship between the permeability coefficient value with asbuton thickness. The influence of water pressure and the relationship between the permeability coefficient value with asbuton thickness due to the influence of water pressure to get the thickness design model of the core layer. The results showed that the ratio between asbuton thickness and water level of the dam at the permeability test without influence of water pressure was 1/100 while the influence of maximum water pressure was 1/20. The thickness design model of core layer using asbuton is on upper surface layer 1/100 and base 1/20 of dam water level.
