KAJIAN EKSPERIMENTAL PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN SERAT PISANG DAN SUPERPLASTICIZER PADA CAMPURAN BETON

Abstract

Beton merupakan material yang sering digunakan dalam pembangunan struktur. Karena itu beton mengalami banyak pengembangan dan modifikasi, termasuk dalam hal campuran material beton. Selain untuk menghasilkan beton dengan mutu lebih baik, pengembangan campuran beton juga harus ramah lingkungan dan berkelanjutan. Maka dari itu, dilakukan penelitian dengan bahan tambah yang berasal dari alam. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan bahan tambah serat batang pisang batu dan superplasticizer Sikament LN. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh komposisi serat pisang dengan variasi komposisi serat. Serat pisang yang digunakan memiliki panjang 10 cm. Benda uji berbentuk silinder berdiameter 15 cm dan tinggi 30 cm. Benda uji adalah campuran serat pisang berdiameter 4 mm dan panjang 10 cm dengan variasi serat: 0,4 % (BU 1); 1.2 % (BU 2); dan 2% (BU 3) dan penambahan Sika sebesar 1,2% berat tiap benda uji. Dari hasilpengujian, didapat kuat tekan BU 1 sebesar 22,225 Mpa ,kuat tekan BU 2 sebesar 11,614 Mpa dan kuat tekan BU 3 sebesar 6,958 Mpa. Dari hasil pengujian kuat tekan didapat kesimpulan bahwa penambahan serat pisang mengurangi kuat tekan beton. Namun kuat tekan beton serat pisang dengan penambahan superplasticizer Sika masih lebih besar daripada pengujian tekan beton serat pisang terdahulu tanpa penambahan superplasticizer. Disamping itu, metode penambahan serat pisang juga mempengaruhi kekuatan tekan beton. Dari hasil trial mix design didapat bahwa penambahan serat pisang kering yang diikutipenambahan air, supeplasticizer Sika, semen dan agregat memberikan hasil kuat tekan beton paling besar.

ABSTRACT

Concrete is a material that is often used in the construction of structures. Therefore concrete undergoes a lot of development and modification, including in terms of concrete material mixture. In addition to producing better quality concrete, concrete mixture development must also be environmentally friendly and sustainable. Therefore, research is carried out with added materials derived from nature. In this study used material added fiber banana and superplasticizer Sikament LN. This study aims to find out the influence of banana fiber composition with variations in fiber composition. Banana fiber used has a length of 10 cm. Cylinder-shaped test object diameter 15 cm and height 30 cm. The test object is a mixture of banana fiber diameter of 4 mm and length of 10 cm with fiber variation: 0.4 % (BU 1); 1.2 % (BU 2); and 2% (BU 3) and the addition of Sika by 1.2% of the weight of each test object. From the test results, obtained a compressive strength BU 1 of 22,225 Mpa, BU 2 compressive strengthwas 11,614 Mpa and BU 3 compressive strengthwas 6,958 Mpa. From the results of compressive strength testing obtained the conclusion that the addition of banana fiber reduces the strength of compressive strength. However compressive strengthof banana fiber concrete with the addition of superplasticizer Sika is still greater than the previous banana fiber compressive strengthtesting without the addition of a superplasticizer. In addition, the method of adding banana fibers also affects the compressive strengthof concrete. From the results of the trial mix design was obtained that the addition of dried banana fibers followed by the addition of water, supeplasticizer Sika, cement and aggregates gave a greater compressive strength result.
