Abstract

Concrete is a material with the ability to withstand a fairly high pressure, yet it has a low ability to withstand tension. To be utilized as a structure material, improvements need to be made to increase its tensile strength. Addition of fiber in the concrete mixture is recognized to be one among the existing methods to increase the tensile strength. Considering its high tensile strength, This study aimed to examine the compressive strength, the split tensile strength, the flexural and elastic modulus of the normal concrete with Menjalin fibers. The examination was conducted using a cylinder with the diameter of 15 cm and the height of 30 cm and a beam with the size of 15x15x60 cm. Fiber addition was 0.65% of the total concrete materials with various fiber lengths ranging from 2.5 cm, 5 cm, 7.5 cm to 10 cm. The experiment was made by the means of a concrete cylinder compressive test and a flexural test of unreinforced concrete blocks. Results of the study showed, at the age of 21 days, the highest average compressive strength value of 194.37 kg/cm2 and the split tensile strength of 30.43 kg/cm2 in the concrete with fiber of 5 cm long were obtained. The highest flexural modulus value of concrete occurred in the specimen with the fiber length of 7.5 cm (55.7 kg/cm2), while the highest elasticity of concrete occurred in the specimen with the fiber length of 5 cm (2.45x105 kg/cm2).

Abstract

Concrete is a widely used construction material due to its numerous advantages in terms of structural performance, cost-effectiveness, implementation, and maintenance. Compressive strength is a critical property that must be considered for concrete used as a structural component. This property can be influenced by various factors, including the addition of chemical substances to the concrete mix. Alum is commonly employed as a water clarifying agent. In concrete mixtures, alum decomposes into aluminium and trioxide sulfate compounds found in cement. Incorporating alum into concrete is expected to enhance the aluminium and cement content. This research aims to investigate the technical properties of normal concrete when supplemented with alum. The technical properties under consideration include slump value and compressive strength, with a fixed mix proportion of cement: sand: gravel = 1:2:3. Alum is added in proportions of 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% by weight of cement in the concrete mix. The findings of this present study indicate that the highest compressive strength is achieved in concrete specimens with 2% alum addition by weight of cement, reaching 35.629 MPa, while the corresponding slump value is 7.75 cm
