PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN SERAT BAMBU TERHADAP KUAT TEKAN DAN KUAT LENTUR BETON

Abstract

This study is aim to indentify the influence of adding the fiber of bamboo as a mixture for increasing the durability and the flexibility of the steel. It proposed to notice whether normal steel and mixture one will be same in durability and flexibility, and to evaluate whether bamboo could be applied as a mixture for steel. The size of fiber applied as a mixture is 20 mm in length, 1 mm in width and 1 mm in thickness, within a vary concentration from 1 %, 1,5% and 2 % confined to normal weight of the steel. Adding of bamboo within the steel as a mixture in 1%, 1,5% and 2% concentration of total weight of template is able to increase durability and flexibility of the mixture or normal steel. There is a decrement of durability and flexibility of the steel in addition of 1,5% and 2% concentration comparing to the steel in addition of 1% concentration, but this decrement is not exceeding the normal limit.
