Some time ago in the region of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) experienced earthquake shocks which shocked the community so that many buildings were destroyed and razed to the ground. While the current use of plastic waste is a concern of the community and government, especially in the NTB region. So this background is the basis of research to make earthquake-resistant lightweight bricks by utilizing PET plastic waste to replace coarse aggregate as a mixture and use sisal fiber as a reinforcement to strengthen the strength of lightweight bricks. The purpose of this research is to find out how to make light brick type CLC (Cellular Lightweight Concrete) by utilizing PET plastic waste and sisal fiber, to determine the effect of the addition of PET plastic and sisal fiber to the mechanical properties of light bricks, and to determine the optimum composition of the addition of plastic PET and sisal fiber in the manufacture of lightweight brick CLC. The use of PET plastic and sisal fiber produces brick with an average density of 1,830,419 kg / m3 for 1: 1 variation samples, 1,880 kg / m3 for 4: 1 variation samples, and 1,887,654 kg / m3 for 1: variation samples 4. Maximum compressive strength is achieved in 1: 4 variation samples ie samples with the addition of sisal fiber 4 times more than PET plastic. Based on the results of the measurement of the density of bricks, only the sample variation 1: 1 that meets the standards of SNI 2847-2013 light brick (1,140-1,840 kg / m3). The addition of sisal fiber which is 4 times more than PET plastic (sample variation 1: 4) has the highest compressive strength value of 8.5 MPa and is included in the category of lightweight brick quality I.

Lightweight concrete is concrete that has a lighter density than concrete in general. Nutmeg shell utilization as coarse aggregate is expected to be the added material in the lightweight concrete mixture. The purpose of this study is to determine characteristics of the concrete aggregate and the compressive strength of the concrete design based on the DOE (Department of Environment) method and the SNI Standard. In this research, the use of nugmet shell was varied as follows: 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of the concrete weight. The research result shows that the amount of nugmet shell used into the concrete mixture affects the compressive strength of the concrete characteristics (fck’). The compressive strength of the concrete characteristics increases with the increase in the amount of nutmeg shell used in the concrete mixture. The compressie strength increases consecutively from  28.42 kg /cm2, 31.65 kg / cm2 to 32.68 kg /cm2 with the increase in the amount of nutmeg shell: 10%, 20% and 30%. Then, it decreases into 29 , 09 kg /cm2 and 27.38 cm2 with further increasing 40% and 50% nutmeg shell of the concrete weight. The average weight of the concrete mixture using nutmeg shell was 1202 kg/m3with the maximum compressive strength value of 3.2 MPa, thus it could be categorized as the lightweight concrete.

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.

The properties of concrete were studied when the proportions of 37.5 and 19.5 mm stone in the coarse aggregate were varied. With the cement content of 160 kg/m3 and the ratio of water/cement (w/c) greater than 0.9, the compressive strength is maximum at 25 percent by weight (w/o) of 37.5 mm stone. Conversely, for the cement content of 350 kg/m3 and w/c ratios of less than 0.50, maximum compressive strength is substantively reduced. For both 160 kg/m3 and 350 kg/m3 cement contents, workability improves slightly as the proportion of the 37.5 mm stone is increased. For 100 mm fixed slumps and cement content of less than 160 kg/m3, there was little change in compressive strength as the proportion of 37.5 mm stone increased. However, when cement content was increased from 190 to 350 kg/m3, maximum compressive strength was observed, which shifted downward from 50 w/o to 25 w/o of 37.5 mm stone. In general, to maintain a 100 mm slump, water demand decreased as the proportion of 37.5 mm stone in the coarse aggregate fraction increased.Key words: concrete, compressive strength, workability, slump, aggregate, size, cement.

Lightweight concrete is one of the options used in construction in lieu of the traditional normal-weight concrete. Due to its lightweight, it provides lighter structural members and thus, it reduces the total weight of the structures. The reduction in weight resulting in the reduction of the seismic forces since its density is less than 1840 kg/m3. Among all of the concrete constituents, coarse aggregate takes the highest portion of the concrete composition. To produce the lightweight characteristics, it requires innovation on the coarse aggregate to come up with low density of concrete. One possible way is to introduce the use of the artificial lightweight aggregate (ALWA). This study proposes the use of polystyrene as the main ingredient to form the ALWA. The ALWA concrete in the study also used two types of Portland cements, i.e. OPC and PPC. The ALWA introduced in the concrete comprises various percentages, namely 0%, 15%, 50%, and 100% replacement to the coarse aggregate by volume. From the results of the study, it can be found that the compressive strength and the modulus of elasticity of concrete decreased with the increase of the percentage of the ALWA used to replace the natural coarse aggregate.

RESUMENLa resistencia del concreto depende de la calidad de la pasta de cemento y de las características de los agregados pétreos. La primera es controlada por la relación agua - cemento, mientras que las propiedades de los agregados generalmente no pueden ser manipuladas ya que se suele utilizar aquellos que están disponibles cerca de la construcción. En muchas regiones rocas con propiedades no deseables son utilizadas como agregado. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue responder a la pregunta sobre cuál sería la máxima resistencia de diseño que se podría utilizar para concretos fabricados con un tipo específico de agregados obtenidos a partir de la trituración de roca caliza de alta absorción. Se probaron concretos con seis relaciones agua - cemento y dos tamaños de agregado grueso. Se concluyó que con los agregados estudiados es posible fabricar concretos de hasta 500 k/cm2 de f’c.Palabras clave: Absorción; agregados calizos; concreto; relación agua/cemento; resistencia.ABSTRACTConcrete strength depends on the cement paste quality and on the characteristics of the aggregates. The former is controlled by the water to cement ratio, while the properties of the aggregate, in general, cannot be manipulated as it is customary to employ the ones available near the construction site. In many regions rocks with no desirable properties are employed as aggregates. Therefore, the aim of this study was to answer the question about what would that be the maximum compressive strength attainable in concrete made with a specific type of aggregate obtained from crushed limestone of high absorption. Concrete mixtures involved six water to cement ratios and two sizes of coarse aggregate. It was concluded that with this type of aggregate it is possible to made concrete with compressive strength up to 500 k/cm2 of f’c.Key words: Absorption; compressive strength; concrete; limestone aggregate; water/cement ratio.

Decomposing plastics, including plastic bottles, is a very difficult process because it takes 50-100 years. Every year, the use of plastic bottles is increasing, but only few people are willing to treat plastic bottle waste. In this study, plastic bottle waste is used as a substitute of fine aggregate and shaped in such a way to have a sand-like gradation. The variations of graded plastic bottle waste are 0%, 5%, 10%, and 12%. The test objects for each variation consist of three specimens. Data are analyzed by using regression and classical assumption test with SPSS program. The results of the data analysis show that there is a simultaneous effect on the compressive strength with variations in plastic waste substitution. The compressive strength decreases with the increase in the percentage of plastic added. Maximum compressive strength is at the variations of 0% and 5% with19.192 MPa and 16.414 MPa, respectively.

Reduced Density

Pervious concrete or non-fine concrete is a simple form of lightweight concrete made by eliminating the use of fine aggregates. As a result of not using fine aggregate in pervious concrete, then created a cavity filled with air and water can be passed. This cavity resulted in reduced density of the concrete as well as the reduced amount of area that needs to be covered by cement paste, thereby reducing the compressive strength. To increase the compressive strength of pervious concrete, in this study will utilize waste material. The waste material is the cocnut shell ash and coconut shell to strengthen the coarse aggregate bonds, so it is expected to increase the compressive strength along with the increase in permeability. Thus, in this study will replace part of the coarse aggregate with coconut shell with percentage 0%, 2,5%, 5%, 7,5%, 10% and partially replace cement with coconut shell ash with percentage 0%, 2,5%, 5%, 7,5%

Abstract: Aggregates provide volume at low cost, comprising 66% to 78% of the concrete. With increasing concern over the excessive exploitation of natural and quality aggregates, the aggregate produced from industrial wastes and agricultural wastes is the viable new source for building material. This study was carried out to determine the possibilities of using coconut shells as aggregate in concrete. Utilizing coconut shells as aggregate in concrete production not only solves the problem of disposing of this solid waste but also helps conserve natural resources. In this paper, the physical properties of crushed coconut shell aggregate were presented. The fresh concrete properties such as the density and slump and 28 days compressive strength of lightweight concrete made with coconut shell as coarse aggregate were also presented. The findings indicate that water absorption of the coconut shell aggregate was high about 24% but crushing value and impact value were comparable to that of other lightweight aggregates. The average fresh concrete density and 28days cube compressive strength of the concrete using coconut shell aggregate 1975kg/m3 and 19.1 N/mm2 respectively. It is concluded that crushed coconut shell is suitable when it is used as a substitute for conventional aggregates in lightweight concrete production.
