THE INFLUENCE OF BAMBOO REINFORCEMENT AND ADDITION OF FIBERS ON HOLLOW BEAMS

摘要

The development of the artistic value of a building with reinforced concrete material continues to grow, one of which burrows the pipeline so as unexposed so that the condition of a building looks beautiful. This condition makes a weakening of the strength of concrete. As for the weakness of the concrete caused by a small crack due to deflection or the other anticipated by the addition of fiber one of the rebar tie wire (bendrat). Based on this condition, the beam testing was done with size by 150mm x 200mm x 1200mm with using one-point loading. Concrete mix design using SNI 03-2834-2000. The load obtained without fibers using the steel reinforcement by 12.9% greater than the use of bamboo reinforcement. This is because the tensile strength of bamboo is smaller than the tensile strength of iron. Likewise, on the beam that added fiber as much as by 2% on the bamboo reinforcement, there is a difference of loading is smaller than the steel reinforcement by 25%. The interesting result is found in the 0.5 inch diameter beam which has an increase in load with the initial crack conditions close to the same as the beam without a hole.
