Abstract As a material of construction, concrete have a good compressive strength but low tensile strength. From the previous study, reducing the tensile weakness of the concrete using empty fruit bunch (EFB) of Palm for the concrete mix have a significant result. But in contrary, the use of this fiber decreases the compressive strength of concrete. This research aims to optimize a mixture of glass powders on EFB fiber as a solution to increase the compressive and tensile in strength of concrete as well. The fiber material requires pre condition treatment which is soaked in 10% NaOH for 6-10 hours, then is followed with drying for 24 hours and finally cutting into 4 cm pieces long. Using glass powder as mix design with fiber material which is substitute for fine aggregate in concrete. Variation of 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1,25%, 1,5%, 1,75%, and 2% fiber material mix up with 10% glass powder used for concrete specimens with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm at the age of 28 days testing. The results of this study shows an increase in the compressive and tensile strength of concrete compare to normal concrete. The optimum compressive increase 21.02% of normal concrete which is 24.87 MPa. Meanwhile the tensile strength an increase of 31,78% of normal concrete which is 3,11 MPa using 1% fibre and 10% of glass powder. Hence, using glass powder mix in EFB to increase compressive and tensile strength of concrete can be developed optimally in the future.

Title: The Effect of Using Mediteran Soil as Cement Substitution Materials in Compressive Strength and Tensile Strength of Concrete Concrete is a composite material (mixture) of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water. The potential of limestone in Indonesia is very large, reaching 28.678 billion tons which is the main ingredient in the cement manufacture. In the long run it will be depleted because it is a non-renewable natural resources. So to reduce the use of limestone the utilization of Mediteran soil as a substitution for some cement in the manufacture of concrete is required. The initial idea is based on the chemical composition contained in the Mediteran soil almost identical to the cement, which is carbonate (CaO) and silica (SiO2). The purpose of this research is to reveal the influence of substitution of Mediteran soil by 20% and 40% in the compressive strength and tensile of the concrete at age 3, 7, 14, and 28 days with the number of test specimen each 3 pieces on each variation in 10cm x20cm cylinder with planning of concrete mixture refers to SK SNI method T-15-1900-03. The type of research used is quantitative with the experimental method of laboratory test and data analysis of comparative method and regression. The results show that compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete using Mediteran soil substitution comparable to  the strength of normal concrete with dry treatment. In the composition of 20% Mediteran soils decreased by 51.35% or 7.9 MPa (compressive strength) and 30.60% or 0.93 MPa (tensile strength). While the composition of 40% Mediteran soil decreased by 43.78% or 9.13 MPa (compressive strength) and 2.24% or 1.31 MPa (tensile strength).  


Aggregates used in concrete are fast depleting natural resource and the quarrying of which is causing environmental issues. Hence, the use of aggregate from alternate sources such as from waste discarded glass, from foundry sand discarded after metal casting process and sea shells is investigated. Compressive strength of concrete with glass powder, foundry sand and sea shell is studied individually. Concrete is cast with glass powder and foundry sand as 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% replacement of fine aggregate and with sea shell as 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% replacement of coarse aggregate individually. It is observed that compressive strength of concrete decreases with glass powder, foundry sand, and sea shell. Fine aggregate replaced by 10% glass powder, 10%, foundry sand and coarse aggregate replaced by 10% sea shell have the least decrease in strength when compared to control concrete mix.

This investigation includes the use of 15% of glass wastes as a partial substitution to cement in combination with plastic wastes as volumetric replacement to natural coarse aggregate to produce sustainable concrete. Different volumetric replacements of plastic waste to natural coarse aggregate (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) were used in concrete containing 15% glass powder as a replacement by weight of cement. Generally, the results show that the inclusion of 15% glass powder improves the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength by about 13.3%, 36.3%, and 34.7%respectively at 60 day age in comparison with reference concrete without wastes, also the results show a decrease in water absorption and an increase in dry density. The inclusion of plastic waste aggregate in the presence of 15% glass powder leads to a decrease in the compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, dry density, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and thermal conductivity. The percentage reductions are 59.8%, 46.3%, 43.6%, 20.5%, 28.6%, and 54.4% respectively for concrete specimens that including 100% plastic waste coarse aggregate in comparison with concrete specimens without plastic waste aggregate.

This paper describes the experimental investigation to develop the concrete mix design Nomograph for concrete containing PET as fine aggregate. The physical and mechanical properties were determined by using mix proportion containing 25%, 50% and 75% of PET with water cement ratio (w/c) 0.45, 0.55 and 0.65. The data obtained showed that the inclusion of PET aggregate reduce the strength performances of concrete. All the data obtained were combined into one single graph to develop a preliminary mix design nomograph for PET concrete. The nomograph consist of ; relationship between compressive strength and water cement ratio; relationship between splitting tensile strength water cement ratio; relationship between splitting tensile strength and PET percentage and relationship between compressive strength and PET percentage. The mix design nomograph can be used to assists in selecting the proper mix proportion parameters based on the criteria required.

The need for housing is more higher along with the times and this is also a factor to increasing for concrete needed for building  development. The more concrete that is produced, the more cement is needed for construction.Concrete is a composite material (mixture) of several materials, the main ingredient which consists of a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, water and or without other additives with a certain ratio. Utilization of waste carried out in this study is to utilize corn cobs waste which is commonly found in the outskirts of the city of Medan. By utilizing this waste, it is hoped that it can reduce the accumulation of corn agricultural waste and also increase public insight about how to treat corn cobs waste into other forms. In this study, a concrete trial was carried out by adding corn cobs ash waste to concrete which aims to find out whether corn cobs ash can increase the compressive strength of concrete with variations in the percentage of the mixture of 0%, 3%, 6%, and 9% of the cement weight. The compressive strength value of normal concrete (25.45MPa), while with the substitution of corn cob ash 3% (21.96 MPa), 6% (18.56MPa), and 9% (16.45MPa). So it can be concluded that the resulting compressive strength exceeds the planned compressive strength and the optimum substitution value of corn cobs varian is at the 3% variant, namely 21.96 MPa.

The rapid growth of the population leads to a requirement of infrastructure this leads to scarcity of raw material for construction such as cement and sand. The other hand pollution growing due to thermal power plants, granite polishing unit and plastic waste this need to be removed. This gives an idea of using this compound as a raw material in concrete making. This concept found to effective minimizes disposal of fly, granite power and plastic wastes, and leads towards Green Building Concepts. In this investigation of M25 grade normal concrete is made by cement, sand, and aggregate which is tested and compared by special concrete. The concrete mix is prepared as per 10262 -2019 by adding replacing small amount of Fly ash in place of cement OPC 53 grade, and fine aggregate is prepared by partial replacing with granite powder (0%,10%,20%,30%)and another mix is prepared by adding 0.5 nylon fiber, partial replacement of fine aggregate with granite powder (0%,10%,20%,30%)specimens are casted . The casted specimens are tested for split tensile strength and compressive strength 7, 14 and 28 day’s respectively and these results also compared with each other. I t is observed that compressive strength and split tensile of concrete at 28days of curing show max value when compared with normal concrete. When the percentage of granite powder increases to 30% it shows that a decrease in both split tensile strength of concrete and compressive strength. When we added fiber to the concrete there is an increase in compressive strength and split tensile strength but there is a not much increase in compressive strength but increase in split tensile strength
