Abstract

The background of this research is that there is still a lot of oyster shell material that has not been utilized, meanwhile the shell has good mechanical properties as well as concrete. Up to this moment, the shell is not used properly so it needs to studied the use as concrete mixture. By the utilization of this waste is expected to reduce the environmental impact. This study was aims to obtain a regression equation of the compressive strength of concrete using shells, the shells used in this study were oyster shells (ostreidae), tested at 28 days of age with 3 variations in the percentage of the use of shell ash material and with 1 variation of normal concrete. The percentage variations used are 0% variation, 5% variation, 10% variation, and 15% variation. In addition, based on the regression equation, the strong relationship between variables will be obtained which is indicated by the value of r square. The implementation of this research was carried out by carrying out a compressive test of concrete cylinder samples with 3 variations of the water cement rasio (W/C), is W/C 0.4, W/C 0.5, and W/C 0.6. The activity was continued by recording and analyzing data by conducting a regression analysis between the relationship between the percentage of shell use and the compressive strength of concrete. The regression equation used is the exponential regression equation, linear regression, polynomial regression order 2. From the test data, it is found that the regression equation is the best for W/C variation 0.4, obtained polynomial regression equation order 2, y = -0.0351x2 + 0, 3279x + 25.075 with r² = 0.9999, for the W/C variation of 0.5, the second order polynomial regression equation is obtained, y = -0.0702x2 + 0.8062x + 23.406 with r² = 0.8983, and for the W/C variation of 0.6 , the second order polynomial regression equation is obtained, y = -0.0404x2 + 0.4008x + 19.074 with a value of r² = 0.9167..
