Studi Dasar Mengenai Beton yang Menggunakan Agregat Buatan yang Ringan Sebagai Agregat Kasar

Abstract

Recently, concrete containing artificial light weight aggregates were used to produce the light weight element of structures. Most of the previous research has been carried out on the concrete containing artificial light weight aggregates as coarse aggregate and fine aggregate. This research is a fundemental study on the concrete containing artificial lightweight aggregates as coarse aggregate and river sand as fine aggregate. The artificial lightweight aggregates is made from expanded shale. Experimental tests consisted of measuring the slump, air content of the fresh concrete and compressive strength of hardened concrete. Test result revealed that the concrete containing artificial lightweight aggregates as coarse aggregate and river sand as fine aggregate can attain the slump design, air content design, compressive strength design and flexural strength.
