Concrete currently consists of several types. Among them are Fibrous Concrete, Lightweight Concrete, SCC Concrete, Hollow Concrete etc. All have advantages and disadvantages to each. The use of various types of concrete is adjusted to the needs of construction. In this research, fibrous steel concrete with a combination of silica fume will be the main object to be studied. So far, fibrous concrete has been actively studied in various countries. From the results of previous studies, fibrous concrete can improve the quality of concrete, especially reducing the brittle nature and initial cracking in concrete. While Silica Fume can increase the compressive strength of concrete. The main objective of this study to determine and understand the mechanical properties of concrete with a combination of steel fibre and silica fume such as compressive strength and split tensile strength. The percentage of steel fibre percentage used in this study is from 0 to 3 per cent, while the percentage of silica fume used is l0 per cent by weight of cement. The results of a study are the optimum compressive strength is in the DFl variation with the percentage of silica fume l0 per cent and 0 per cent steel fibre. The use of steel fibre combined with silica fume does not significantly affect the compressive strength. Although it tends to decrease the compressive strength. The strength of tensile strength obtained ranges from 11 to 14 per cent of the compressive strength.
Construction is growing rapidly nowadays. Buildings, housing, industry/business centers and highways will require natural aggregates which are natural resources that cannot be renewed. Therefore, we need replacement materials able to replace these natural aggregate. The large amount of plastic waste in fields, based on existing data, causes environmental pollution through it can be reused and useful for building and road construction. Most of communities don’t even know the plastic waste processing technology that allow their use in the construction of house construction such as floors, walls, roofs, and hinges and also road construction with not heavy road loads. The purpose of this activity is to provide the knowledge to the people of RPTRA related to technology for the use of plastic waste for building materials and also road construction in the area in the RPTRA environment considering it is not a public road and hence, with not heavy vehicle. The method used is firstly observation and interview of several houses visited. Then activities about using different types of plastic waste as construction materials. Finally, evaluation of the progress of the project by conducting a survey to people who had met the criteria of being a member of the plastic waste program. The success of this program will be the people’s understanding and a significate growing of any highvalue plastic use as construction material. The benefit of this community service is to increase the knowledge and insight of the people of RPTRA, South Meruya, and West Jakarta City, related to environmentally friendly technologies such as plastic waste processing.
Multi-storey buildings as a place for humans to carry out their activities, both for residential, office buildings, hospitals, business activities, social activities, cultural activities or other special activities. One earthquake resistant building system is a seismic isolation system. Where a storey building is not designed by strengthening its structural resistance to earthquake forces but rather how to reduce earthquake forces acting on the building by adding a structural system that is devoted to absorbing some of the earthquake energy entering the building so that only a small portion (the rest) will borne by the structural components of the building. In this study, we will try to use the base isolator / basic isolation system at the Pratama Hospital building in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. Considering that this Hospital is a fairly strategic public facility in the South Sulawesi region and is included in the category of high-rise buildings that need to be considered when receiving lateral earthquake loads.
