Abstract

Concrete is a very important building material used in the world of construction services, and it is generally known that the good and bad properties of concrete can be seen from its compressive strength. Concrete consists of Portland Cement (PC) or other hydraulic cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, and water, with or without using additional materials. Cement is one of the main mixtures of concrete constituents composed of natural resources such as lime (CaO), Silica (SiO₃), alumina (Al2O₃), little magnesia (MgO), and alkali. Silica is also found in corn. according to (Roesmarkam and Yuwono, 2002) corn plants have a Silica content of 20.6%. This study aims to determine the effect of utilization of corn stalk ash on compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete. Cornstalk ash is used as a partial substitute for cement, with a mixture composition of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%. This study uses SNI 03-2834-2000 for mix design, with the added ingredient of 0.25% sikament NN. Cylindrical test specimen size (150 mm x 300 mm), the specimen was treated and tested at 28 days. Based on research using corn stalk ash 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%. either without or using sikament NN the highest compressive strength at 8% is 20.8 Mpa and 20.4 Mpa, and decrease in usage of 10% corn stalk ash which is 18.2 Mpa and 18, 4 Mpa. The highest elastic modulus without or with sikament NN present in 8% ie 21656.14 Mpa and 21607.52 MPa. Modulus of Elasticity value decreased in the use of corn stalks 10% ash is 20366.28 Mpa and 20569.59 MPa. Based on the research, corn stalk ash can replace the role of part of cement in construction using corn stalk ash 8%.

Abstract

Cement is an adhesive material for concrete mixtures in addition to water, fine and coarse aggregates. One of the main ingredients of cement is silica (SiO2) which is originated from the earth's crust. Silica is also available in plants such as corn stalks. This research is aimed to utilize the corn stalk ash (CSA) as an alternative substitution for some cement in concrete for the rigid pavement of road construction. According to the Indonesian standard, the flexural tensile strength should be exceeded at least 4.5 MPa. The flexural tensile strength has also a correlation due to compressive strength. The concrete materials consisted of the coarse aggregate (river crushed stone) from Kampar River and Danau Bingkuang sands from Kampar District of Riau Province, and Portland Composite Cement from Semen Padang. The CSA was made by burning the dried corn stalks in a steel cylinder can over 24 hours. The content of CSA was varied by 0%, 5%, 7% and 9%. The compressive strength design of concrete was 31,3 MPa. Testing procedures were based on the Indonesian Standard for concrete. The tested specimens have consisted of cube specimens (150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm) for compressive tests, and beam specimens (150 mm x 150 mm x 600 mm) for flexural strength tests. All specimens were tested on 28 days-age. The results show that CSA can be used as a partial substitution of cement in concrete. The addition of CSA tends to increase the compressive strength of concrete instead of its flexural tensile strength. The optimum content of CSA was 7% and resulted in an 8.0% and 6.9% increase in compressive and flexural tensile strength due to design respectively. Compressive and flexural tensile strength fulfilled the standard. Flexural tensile strength is obtained by 15% of the compressive strength. Cornstalk ash can be used as a substitution of cement for rigid pavement concrete. It can reduce the utilization of cement and will be potentially cost efficiency.
