PENURUNAN PADA RIGID PAVEMENT DENGAN CHEMICAL ADMIXTURE PADA ELEVATED TEMPERATURE MENGGUNAKAN SOFTWARE ABAQUS
Abstract
The increasing number of vehicles in Yogyakarta has led to long lines of
heavy traffic, especially at the road intersection, which may damage the flexible
pavement layer. The excessive load of moving vehicles has reduced the ability of
flexible pavement to withstand the braking force of a moving vehicle, which
inevitably leads to shoving and slip cracks. Therefore, rigid pavements are more
applicable in such case. This research was conducted to obtain the characteristics
of rigid pavement using chemical admixture with variations of 0.6% Plastocrete
RT06 and 3% Sikament-NN, affected by temperature changes on compressive
strength, and having a decrease in value due to the load as indicated by the
Abaqus software. The research was conducted with cylindrical specimens method
with different curing of a soaking and elevated temperature of 40oC for 12 hours
with planned concrete quality (f’c ) >37,35 MPa (>K-450). The value of concrete
compressive strength is of 13.18% with optimal compressive strength values
occurring in concrete without special treatment. The decreasing value of the
pavement is modeled with compressive strength of 48.27 MPa (K-580) in
immersion concrete and 41.91 MPa (K-500) in concrete with elevated
temperature, with the load obtained from LHR of 2017 using Abaqus software,
each of which is 0.2235 mm for immersion concrete and 0.237242 mm for
concrete with elevated temperature.
