Kekuatan Geser Balok Beton dengan Penambahan Serat Polypropylene
Brittle properties are a crucial weakness of concrete materials used in the world of construction. This encourages the use of additional materials which function to minimize direct collapse due to the brittle nature of concrete. One of the additional materials used is polypropylene fiber. This fiber is a type of plastic that is able to increase and improve concrete properties such as ductility and shear strength. This research aims to determine the optimum content of polypropylene fiber and analyze its effect on the mechanical properties of compressive strength, tensile strength and shear strength of concrete with a percentage of polypropylene fiber added material of 0 kg/m3, 1 kg/m3 and 1.5 kg/m3 of the concrete volume weight. Tests were carried out at 7 and 28 days of concrete. Based on the compressive strength test results, it shows the highest value when using 1 kg/m3 of fiber is 21.45 MPa. The highest split tensile strength value when using 1 kg/m3 of fiber is 3.11 MPa. The test results show that the highest value of shear strength when using 1 kg/m3 polypropylene fiber is 9 kN with an increase of 64% compared to normal concrete. Numerical analysis via Response 2000 was carried out as a comparison of shear strength values with the same parameters. The same thing was also obtained in the numerical analysis of the response of 2000 with a shear strength value for 1 kg/m3 fiber concrete of 15.62 kN with an increase of 19.8% compared to normal concrete. This shows that polypropylene fibers can increase the shear strength and mechanical properties of concrete by levels of up to 1 kg/m3.
