Indeks Tahanan Lentur Beton-Serat

Beton merupakan bahan konstruksi yang paling se-ring dipakai, karena mempunyai banyak keuntung\u27an, balk dari segi struktur, ekonomi, pelaksanaan maupun perawatan. Salah satu kelemahan yang cukup menonjol, yaitu sifatnya yang getas dan tidak mampu menahan lenturan yang terlalu besar. Penambahan serat-serat pada adukan beton akan memperbesar kemampuannya menyerap energi lenturan yang mungkin terjadi, yang dinyatakan dengan Indeks Tahanan Lentur, Pengdian Indeks Keliatan (Indeks Tahanan Len tur) dilakukan dengan membuat benda-benda uji beton balok 100 mm x 100 mm x 500 mm. Indeks Tahanan Lentur dinyatakan dengan luasan di bawah diagram hubungan lendutanbeban dengan lendutan 0,075" dibagi dengan luasan di bawah diagram lendutan-beban pada saat terjadi retak pertama pada uji lentur dua titik pembebanan. Penelitian dengan menggunakan Plain Steel Fibres dan Duoform Steel Fibres memberikan basil bahwa pada umur 28 hari, Indek Tahanan Lentur akan meningkat sebesar 19 dan 12 kali Indeks Tahanan Lentur beton tanpa sera t, yaitu dengan memakai konsen trasi sera t yang\u27 optimal ialah 1,0 1. Nilai Indeks Tahanan Lentur jugs dipengaruhi oleh kemasakan beton dan nilai ini akan konstan jika beton sudah berumur minimal 28 hari. Pada pengujian dengan umur di bawah 28 hari dijumpai Indeks Tahanan Lentur yang lebih sehingga pemakaian Indeks Tahanan Lentur pada umur beton yang kurang dari 28 hari untuk perancangan struktur akan memperkecil angka keamanan.

Genteng beton dengan substitusi tras

Concrete, in the broadest sense, is any mass product made by the use of cementing medium. Therefore, concrete tiles is made from Portland Cement and fine aggregate as the filler materials. The increasing of cement price affects on the building cost. Research for qualified and economical concrete tiles needs to be encouraged and developed because cheap concrete tiles will save the construction cost. Trass utilizes to substitute part of the cement used is expected to fulfill this need. Concrete tile specimens were made from 1 portion of Portland Cement and 3 portions of fine aggregate with water/cement ratio of 0.50. Trass granules diameter of pass filter no. 200 was added to the tile mortar using 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% proportion to substitute part of the cement used in the same percentage. After the specimens reached 28 days, flexural, water infiltration resistance, and water absorption power tests were conducted. The test results showed that as the trass content increased the concrete tile flexural strength decreased and the water absorption power increased. The water absorption power of all of the tested specimens met the Indonesian Industrial Standard and the trass content to comply with the standard flexural strength, was 10%. Other contents did not meet the standard. Based on the water infiltration resistance, all of the tested specimens still required additional efforts in order to comply with the requirements
