Abstract

As sustainability becomes a central focus in the construction industry, the combined use of supplementary cementitious materials and discrete fiber reinforcement offers an innovative pathway to enhance both environmental and structural performance. This study investigates the mechano-microstructural interaction between a dense Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS)–based matrix and polypropylene (PP) fibers in reinforced concrete (RC) beams, emphasizing the performance trade-offs among key mechanical properties. The experimental program comprised two phases. First, GGBFS replacement levels of 30% and 45% (by binder mass) were evaluated for compressive strength to identify the optimal matrix. Second, PP fibers were incorporated at 0, 3, 5, and 7 kg/m³ into the selected matrix. Tests under standardized curing conditions measured compressive strength, flexural load capacity, ductility, toughness, and stiffness. Microstructural analysis assessed fiber–matrix bonding quality and crack-bridging mechanisms. The 30% GGBFS mixture achieved the highest compressive strength in the optimization phase. Fiber inclusion produced distinct performance trade-offs: 3 kg/m³ delivered the best combination of strength and toughness, 5 kg/m³ maximized ductility, and 7 kg/m³ yielded the highest initial stiffness but slightly reduced post-peak energy absorption. These findings demonstrate that no single fiber dosage is universally optimal; instead, the choice should be based on prioritizing specific performance criteria. Microstructural observations revealed dense interfacial transition zones and effective fiber anchorage in GGBFS-rich matrices, enhancing crack control and delaying propagation. This study’s primary contribution lies in establishing a clear link between microstructural features and quantified mechanical trade-offs, providing a framework for performance-based mix design. The identified trade-offs also offer direct guidance for performance-based design, enabling engineers to tailor mix compositions to targeted applications such as seismic resilience, deflection-sensitive spans, or impact-resistant members.

Abstract

ABSTRAKSDN Cipageran Mandiri 1 Kota Cimahi memiliki gedung bertingkat yang menimbulkan kekhawatiran terkait keselamatan dan kenyamanan pengguna akibat kerusakan struktural maupun arsitektural. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kelayakan struktur gedung C melalui inspeksi visual, pengujian non-destruktif (NDT), serta analisis struktur menggunakan perangkat lunak berbasis metode elemen hingga. Metode penelitian dilakukan secara kuantitatif melalui tahapan studi literatur, pengumpulan data sekunder, pemeriksaan visual, pengujian NDT (Rebound Hammer Test, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity, Brinell Hardness Test, Liquid Penetrant Test, dan uji vertikalitas), hingga pemodelan struktur 3D. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan variasi mutu beton yang signifikan (29,1–407,4 kg/cm²) serta mutu baja yang tidak seragam (693,3–1432,6 MPa). Selain itu, ditemukan cacat pada sambungan las, korosi pada elemen baja, serta penyimpangan vertikal pada beberapa kolom. Analisis permodelan memperlihatkan stress ratio >1 pada sejumlah elemen balok dan kolom serta deformasi yang melebihi batas standar L/240, sehingga struktur dinyatakan tidak memenuhi persyaratan SNI 1729:2020. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa gedung C SDN Cipageran Mandiri 1 memerlukan perbaikan struktural secara menyeluruh untuk menjamin keselamatan, kenyamanan, serta keberlangsungan fungsi bangunan sebagai sarana pendidikan.Kata kunci: evaluasi struktur, gedung sekolah, kelayakan bangunan, keselamatan konstruksi, NDT ABSTRACTSDN Cipageran Mandiri 1 in Cimahi City has a multi-story building that raises concerns regarding the safety and comfort of its users due to both structural and architectural damage. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of Building C through visual inspection, non-destructive testing (NDT), and structural analysis using finite element software. The research was conducted quantitatively through several stages, including literature review, secondary data collection, visual inspection, NDT (Rebound Hammer Test, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity, Brinell Hardness Test, Liquid Penetrant Test, and verticality test), and 3D structural modeling. The results indicate significant variations in concrete strength (29.1–407.4 kg/cm²) and non-uniform steel quality (693.3–1432.6 MPa). In addition, defects were found in the welding joints, corrosion in steel elements, and deviations in verticality in several columns. Structural modeling analysis revealed stress ratios greater than 1 in several beam and column elements, as well as deformations exceeding the L/240 limit, indicating that the structure does not comply with the requirements of SNI 1729:2020. This study concludes that Building C of SDN Cipageran Mandiri 1 requires comprehensive structural rehabilitation to ensure safety, comfort, and the continued functionality of the facility as an educational facility.Keywords: structural evaluation, school building, building feasibility, construction safety, NDT
