Bio-deposition has led to the exploration of remediation and improvement technique in the field of cementitious materials. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bio-deposited carbonate on parameters affecting concrete properties and the effects of bio-deposition on the durability of concrete specimens. The remediation efficacy of cracks in concrete was studied through compressive strength test and flexural failure test. Water absorption and the resistance towards carbonation of concrete were analyzed by water absorptivity test and concrete accelerated carbonation test, respectively. Experimental results show that bio-deposition is able to make the improvement in concrete compressive strength and the remediation of cracks. Bacterial deposition of calcite on the surface of the concrete specimens results in a decrease of capillary water uptake and carbonation rate constant, and an increase in resistance towards degradation processes.

Concrete is a building material widely used in construction projects. In principle to create concretewith very good quality by the quality of its constituents of fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate,semen, and air, and the way it works. The fine aggregate (sand) as the base material for concretemanufacture is required in determining the quality of the concrete, since the aggregate is a fillerbound by cement and water into a solid mass, the quality of fine aggregate luminaire (sand) directlyaffects the quality of the concrete. The fine aggregate (sand) used in this study came from 3samples in Blitar area, ie 1 sample from Kelud mountain, 2 samples from Kali Putih, and 3 samplesfrom Brantas River. Location of research at the Laboratory Structural Civil Engineering UniversityTribhuwana Tunggadewi Malang. The method used in this study using laboratory experiments andguided on SNI 03-06912000. After a fine aggregate study of 3 samples in Bitarit obtained theaverage compressive strength test, samples of 1 fine aggregate (sand) of Kelud mount recordedaverage of concrete compressive strength of 7,802 Mpa (highest), sample 2 of fine aggregate ( sand)of Kali Putih resulted in average concrete strength test of 3.208 Mpa (lowest), and a sample of 3 fineaggregate (sand) of Brantas river yielded average concrete strength test of 3,272 MPaBeton merupakan material bahan bangunan yang banyak dipergunakan dalam pelaksanaan proyekkonstruksi. Pada prinsipnya untuk mendapatkan beton dengan kualitas yang baik sangatdipengaruhi oleh kualitas dari bahan – bahan penyusunnya yaitu agregat halus (pasir), agregat kasar,semen, dan air, serta cara pengerjaannya. Agregat halus (pasir) sebagai bahan dasar untukpembuatan beton memegang peranan penting dalam menentukan mutu beton, karena agregatmerupakan bahan pengisi yang diikat oleh semen dan air menjadi massa padat, sehingga kualitasagregat halus (pasir) mempengaruhi langsung terhadap mutu beton. Agregat halus (pasir) yangdibahas pada penelitian ini berasal dari 3 sampel di wilayah Blitar, yaitu sample 1 dari gunung Kelud,sampel 2 dari kali Putih, dan sampel 3 dari sungai Brantas. Lokasi penelitian di LaboratoriumStruktur Teknik Sipil Universitas Tribhuwana Tunggadewi Malang.

ABSTRAKDalam campuran beton, agregat kasar memiliki 70% sampai 80% pengaruh terhadap kuat tekan beton. Agregat kasar memiliki bentuk yang berbeda seperti membulat, pipih, dan memanjang tergantung pada sumbernya. Dalam penelitian ini, dilakukan penyelidikan pada kadar maksimum bentuk pipih dan memanjang agregat kasar dalam campuran beton. Pada penelitian kadar bentuk pipih dan memanjang agregat kasar ini menggunakan benda uji silinder dengan ukuran diameter 10 cm dan tinggi 20 cm. Pengujian dilakukan dengan uji slump dan uji kuat tekan beton yang mengacu pada SNI. Slump rencana yang digunakan yaitu (30-60) mm dan (60-180) mm dengan kuat tekan beton rencana yaitu 30 MPa usia 28 hari. Hasil pengujian ini dapat diketahui bahwa kadar pipih dan memanjang agregat kasar melebihi 20% tidak berpengaruh terhadap kuat tekan beton selama kadar pipih dan memanjang agregat kasar tidak melebihi 45% dari total agregat batu pecah.Kata kunci: bentuk pipih dan memanjang, agregat kasar, kuat tekan beton, uji slump ABSTRACTIn concrete mixture, coarse aggregate has 70% to 80% influence on concrete compressive strength. The coarse aggregate have different shape like rounded, angular, flaky and elongated depending on the source. In this study, we investigated the maximum level of flat and elongated coarse aggregate in concrete mixture. In the study of the level of flat and elongated forms coarse aggregates using cylindrical specimen with a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 20 cm. Testing was conducted with slump and concrete compressive strength test which refers to SNI. The slump plan used is (30-60) mm and (60-180) mm with a 30 MPa concrete compressive strength of 28 days. The results of this test can be seen that the flat and elongated of coarse aggregates exceeding 20% does not effect compressive strength of the concrete as long as the flat and elongated of coarse aggregates not exceed at 45% of the total aggregates.Keywords: flat and elongated shape, coarse aggregates, compressive strength, slump test

Quickcure CX is a chemical for concrete designed using the latest technological innovations, this added material can accelerate and increase the compressive strength of concrete by 5 - 10% and can reduce the moisture content in the concrete mixture by 5 - 10%. The purpose of this study was to increase and accelerate the effect of the compressive strength value of concrete produced by Quickcure CX added material on K-500 concrete.The research sample is a cube-shaped test object with a size of 15cmx15cmx15cm. There are 4 sample variations, namely: Normal Concrete, Normal Concrete + Quickcure cx 0.25%, Normal Concrete + Quickcure cx 0.45%, and Normal Concrete + Quickcure cx 0.65%, each variation consisting of 15 samples.After conducting the concrete compressive strength test, this study obtained the highest average compressive strength test results in Normal Concrete (503.2kg / cm2), Normal Concrete + Quickcure cx 0.25% (513.8kg / cm2), Normal Concrete + Quickcure 0.45% (536.4kg / cm2) and Normal Concrete + Quickcure cx 0.65% at 551.6kg / cm2 at the age of 28 days. So of the 4 variations in the value of the compressive strength test of concrete, it still increases in Normal Concrete + Quickcure cx 0.65%, and accelerating the concrete does not accelerate because the average age is 21 days with a variation of Normal Concrete + Quickcure cx 0.65% with a value of 488.8 kg / cm2 so the concrete has not reached the compressive strength that was planned.Keywords: Concrete, Quikcure CX, Compressive Strength, K-500

Conventional compressive strength test of concrete involves the destruction of concrete samples or existing structures. Thus, the focus of this research is to ascertain a more effective method to assess the compressive strength of concrete, especially during the hardening process. One of the prevalent non-destructive test (NDT) methods that involves the employment of elastic wave has been proposed to forecast the compressive strength development of air-entrained rubberized concrete. The change of the properties, such as wave amplitude, velocity and dominant frequency of the wave that propagates within the concrete is investigated. These wave parameters are then correlated with the compressive strength data, obtained using the conventional compressive strength test. It has been certified that both correlation between wave amplitude and concrete compressive strength, as well as the correlation between velocity and concrete compressive strength, have high regression degrees, which are 0.9404 and 0.8788, respectively. On the contrary, dominant wave frequency has been proved imprecise to be used to correlate with the concrete compressive strength development, as a low correlation coefficient of 0.2677 is reported. In a nutshell, the correlation data of wave amplitude and velocity could be used to forecast the compressive strength development of an air-entrained rubberized concrete in the future.
