FRESH PROPERTIES DAN KUAT LENTUR SELF FIBER COMPACTING CONCRETE (SFCC) DENGAN BAHAN TAMBAH SILICA FUME DAN SERAT NYLON
Abstract
Self fiber compacting concrete (SFCC) is a development of conventional
concrete with the addition of silica fume, superplasticizer, and nylon fiber. It has a
high level of fluidity so that it can flow into the mold with its own weight, then able
to compact itself without carrying out the compaction process with the help of
vibrators and compactors. Weakness of SCC concrete which has a weakness in
tensile strength, the collapse pattern has brittle properties so that it can easily
collapse if there is a shock, therefore with the addition of nylon fiber to the concrete
expected to be able to make the collapse pattern more ductile. This study aimed to
analyze the flexural strength of SFCC at curing age 7, 14, and 28 days with the
addition of silica fume variations 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%, used 1% nylon fiber, and
superplasticizer 1.5% with type of sikament LN. Fresh properties testing in this
study using slump flow, T50, v-funnel and l-box. The results of testing the fresh
properties concrete can be concluded that of the four methods have met EFNARC
standards. The results of the highest flexural strength test were found in the
variation of 5% silica fume which was 6,633 MPa at the age of 28 days. The addition
of higher levels of silica fume can cause the value of flexural strength in the
concrete to decrease.
