The use of lightweight concrete materials in Indonesia, especially in the Merauke Regency area can be an alternative amid the rapid development of the housing sector. In this experimental study, the author took the initiative to replace coarse aggregate with wood charcoal as light coarse aggregate. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of compressive strength and to determine whether the wood charcoal material met the standard of lightweight concrete coarse aggregate. Planning the proportion of lightweight concrete mixture in this study using a volume ratio between cement, sand and wood charcoal of 1: 2, 1: 2: 2.5 and 1: 2: 5 with variations of test days at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 day. From the results of the compressive strength test of lightweight concrete, the use of wood charcoal aggregate as coarse aggregate in concrete causes the value of the compressive strength of concrete to decrease.

Infrastructure development is one of the important aspects of the progress of a country where most of the constituents of infrastructure are concrete. The most important constituent of concrete is cement because its function is to bind other concrete materials so that it can form a hard mass. The large number of developments using cement as a building material will leave quite a lot of cement bags.In this study, the authors conducted research on the effect of adding cement waste to the compressive strength of concrete. This study used an experimental method with a total of 24 test objects. The test object is in the form of a concrete cylinder with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm and uses variations in the composition of the addition of cement waste cement as a substitute for fine aggregate, namely 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%. K200). The compressive strength test was carried out at the age of 7 days and 28 days.The test results show that the use of waste as a partial substitute for fine aggregate results in a decrease in the compressive strength of each mixture. at the age of 7 days the variation of 2% is 16.84 MPa, 4% is 11.32 MPa and for a mixture of 6% is 6.68 MPa. Meanwhile, the compressive strength test value of 28 days old concrete in each mixture decreased by ± 6 MPa. So the conclusion is cement cement waste cannot be used as a substitute for fine aggregate in fc 16.6 (K200) quality concrete because the value is lower than the specified minimum of 16.6 MPa.

There has been an increase in the demand for the use of green concrete in construction. Foam concrete is a lightweight concrete type that has the characteristics of being lightweight, low-strength, highly porous with a high absorption rate and with good insulation properties. The use of sand smoothed andesite in the manufacture of foam concrete is expected to improve the properties of porous concrete and make it more suitable for use. In this study, 120 mortar cubes with the size of 5 cm was used for the density testing, compressive strength testing and porosity testing of foam concrete. Foam concrete is made by mixing cement, sand andesite of 1:2.75 and w/c 0.7 and a foaming agent, which are respectively 1%,2%, 3%, and 4%. Porosity measurements with the soaking method and the concrete compressive strength test were performed, respectively at the age of 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. The results showed that the increase in use of a foaming agent will cause a reduction in the density and the compressive strength of the concrete. While the porosity of foam concrete which is measured at the "volume of permeable void" will increase with the decreasing density and compressive strength of concrete.

Combining with the concrete mixing process of twin-shaft mixer, this paper studied the gap-graded concrete mixing uniformity variation under different time. The study found that: under different mixing time, the relative error of coarse aggregate weight in per unit volume decreases, the compressive strength of concrete specimens change from increase to decrease, and they respectively reach the minimum and maximum at 40s, according to this, we get to optimum stirring time is 30~40s; Torque can reflect the condition of concrete mixing to a certain extent, but when the torque becomes stable, it does not stand for the uniformity of concrete mixing, keep stirring about 8s, the concrete mixing will be uniform completely.

This study described the effect of using salak seed waste as a substitute for coarse aggregate. The percentage of salak seed in concrete mixture became experimental variable to discover the best compressive strength of concrete. Quantitative study with experimental study was carried out at the Laboratory of Materials and Concrete, Faculty of Engineering, University. The design of experiment used a designed compressive strength of concrete of 20 Mpa. The experiment consisted of five variations in the percentage of salak seeds, namely 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The slump test is carried out immediately after mixing the concrete in each proportion. Furthermore, 20 pieces of cylindrical concrete samples in each treatment were tested for 7,14,21 and 28 days. This method aims to compare the strength of each of the resulting concrete compositions. The results obtained showed that the use of salak seeds with a percentage of 5% and 10% gave a compressive strength value of 28 days which met the standard compressive strength of the design female. Meanwhile, the percentage of salak seeds 15% and 20% did not produce the planned compressive strength value. Therefore, salak seeds are suitable to be used as a substitute for coarse aggregate with a percentage of less than 10%. The higher the substitution of the mixture in the salak seed concrete, the lower the compressive strength of the concrete. The results of this study can be developed in green concrete studies that use waste.

The need for housing is increasing day by day. This is a factor in the visit to the need for concrete as a housing construction material. The more concrete that is produced, the more cement is needed for the construction. Concrete is a composite material (mixture) of several materials, the main ingredient of which consists of a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water. Utilization of waste tire ash in the concrete mix is one of the alternative uses so that ic can ultimately increase the efficiency of cement savings which takes a long time to increase in high prices. With reference to this, this study uses used waste as a cement additive with a mixture composition of 0%, 3%, 6% and 9%. The test specimens were made using a cylinder with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 40 cm with 48 specimens produced. The results of the compressive strength test of normal concrete (25.45 MPa), while the concrete with a mixture of 3% used tire ash (28.15 MPa), 6% used tire ash mixture (23.46 MPa) and 9% used tire ash mixture (18.60 MPa). From this research, it can be said that compressive strength of concrete using 3% ash produces the greatest compressive strength of 28.15 MPa.

The use of bamboo as an aggregate substitution is an effort to reduce the specific gravity of concrete, especially in the production of lightweight concrete. The use of bamboo material has the consequence of decreasing the compressive strength value of concrete. This study aims to determine the magnitude of the effect of the use of bamboo substitution on concrete on the compressive strength and specific gravity values. The bamboo material used is sized 15-30 mm in various shapes. The type of bamboo used is petung bamboo (Dendrocalamus Asper). As for the variations in the use of bamboo in the test specimens are 50% and 75% pieces of bamboo of the same shape, 50% and 75% pieces of bamboo form variations, of the weight of coarse aggregate. The research sample is in the form of a cube test object with a size of 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm. Based on the results of the study there was a decrease in the value of the concrete mortar slump along with the addition of the percentage of bamboo aggregate substitution. Concrete absorbs water which is indicated by an increase in water absorption in concrete test specimens which reaches 4.81%. The decrease also occurs in the specific gravity and compressive strength of the test specimen. The minimum value of average concrete density with bamboo substitution for various variations was obtained at 1902.2 kg/m3 (Bamboo Test Objects with Variation Shape 75%), and a maximum of 1991.1 kg/m3 (Bamboo Test Objects with 50% Equal Shape and Objects Bamboo Test Variation in the Form of 50%). The maximum compressive strength value is 135.1 kg/cm2 (Bamboo Test Objects of the Same Shape of 50%) and a minimum of 104.4 kg/cm2 (Bamboo Test Objects of 75% Variation Shape). Variations in the shape of bamboo pieces do not have much effect on the compressive strength of concrete.
