Concrete, when exposed to high temperature, can cause spalling, cracking, and severe damage, which could lead to a sudden collapse of a building. One of the solutions for overcoming this weakness of concrete is by incorporating fibres in the concrete mix. Concrete incorporated with more than one type of fibres is often known as hybrid concrete. In this paper, the compressive strength of the hybrid concrete when exposed to elevated temperature is studied. The result is compared to concrete mixed with a single type of fibre of polypropylene or steel fibres. An observation of spalling is also carried out to verify the compressive strength test. The test results showed that both the single fibre specimens with steel fibre and hybrid specimen improved by 23.34% and 24.60% in residual strength compared with other residual strengths of concrete specimens.

Infrastructure development is one of the important aspects of the progress of a country where most of the constituents of infrastructure are concrete. The most important constituent of concrete is cement because its function is to bind other concrete materials so that it can form a hard mass. The large number of developments using cement as a building material will leave quite a lot of cement bags.In this study, the authors conducted research on the effect of adding cement waste to the compressive strength of concrete. This study used an experimental method with a total of 24 test objects. The test object is in the form of a concrete cylinder with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm and uses variations in the composition of the addition of cement waste cement as a substitute for fine aggregate, namely 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%. K200). The compressive strength test was carried out at the age of 7 days and 28 days.The test results show that the use of waste as a partial substitute for fine aggregate results in a decrease in the compressive strength of each mixture. at the age of 7 days the variation of 2% is 16.84 MPa, 4% is 11.32 MPa and for a mixture of 6% is 6.68 MPa. Meanwhile, the compressive strength test value of 28 days old concrete in each mixture decreased by ± 6 MPa. So the conclusion is cement cement waste cannot be used as a substitute for fine aggregate in fc 16.6 (K200) quality concrete because the value is lower than the specified minimum of 16.6 MPa.

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

Micro-cracks in the vicinity of paste-aggregate interfaces and in the paste itself can be induced when concrete is exposed to elevated temperatures in the range 100°C-300°C. Although with increase of temperature, the strength of concrete becomes more and more influenced by the growing number of micro-cracks, the compressive strength of concrete at an elevated temperature lower than 300°C is almost the same of concrete at room temperature. Under repeated load, those microcracks caused by temperature would propagate, enlarge and become linked up, as a result, the fatigue behavior of concrete would decrease. In this paper, tests have been carried out to study the fatigue behavior of concrete after exposure to elevated temperatures of up to 300°C. Test results have shown that the reduction of fatigue strength of concrete is remarkable.

A total of 11 L-shaped multi-cell concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns were fabricated and researched in axial compression test. The key factors of width-to-thickness ratio D/ t of steel plates in column limb and prism compressive strength of concrete fck were investigated to obtain influence on failure mode, bearing capacity, and ductility of the specimens. The test results show that the constraint effect for concrete provided by multi-cell steel tube cannot be ignored. The ductility decreases with the increase of width-to-thickness ratio D/ t of steel plates in column limb. The bearing capacity increases and the ductility decreases with the increase in prism compressive strength of concrete fck. A finite element program to calculate concentric load–displacement curves of L-shaped multi-cell concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns was proposed and verified by the test results. A parametric analysis with the finite element program was carried out to study the influence of the steel ratio α, steel yield strength fy, prism compressive strength of concrete fck, and width-to-thickness ratio D/ t of steel plates in column limb on the stiffness, bearing capacity and ductility. Furthermore, the design method of bearing capacity was determined based on mainstream concrete-filled steel tubular codes.

This study investigates the self-curing concrete using baby polymer diapers as substitute method of curing process in order to improve mechanical and physical properties of concrete. Three different proportion of baby polymer diapers which are 1%, 3% and 5% were mix with concrete. Slump, compressive strength and drying shrinkage test were performed in order to study the workability, strength and durability of the concrete. All concrete were tested for 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days for drying shrinkage test. Meanwhile, all concrete were test at 3, 7 and 28 days for compressive strength test. Compressive strength of concrete containing 5% baby polymer diapers show the highest strength at 28 days compared to others percentage. Thus, it indicates that application of baby polymer diaper as self-cure agent can improve the concrete performances.

The compressive strength test is one of the technical properties or compressive strength tests that are commonly used in rock mechanics to determine the collapse point or the elasticity of rock against maximum pressure. The rock collapse point is a measure of the strength of the rock itself when the rock is no longer able to maintain its elastic properties. The purpose of this test is to find out how long the rock maintains its strength or elasticity properties when pressure is applied, and to find out the difference between the strength of compact rock and rock that has fractures when pressure is applied. Rocks that have fractures will break more easily or quickly when pressure is applied compared to compact rocks. This analysis is carried out by comparing the rock strength of each sample, both those that have fractures and compact rocks. To find out these differences, laboratory testing was carried out. The test results show the value (compressive strength test 57.76 MPa), (elastic modulus 5250.000MPa), (Poisson ratio 0.05) and the average value of rock mechanical properties test (axial 0.91), (lateral-0.279), and (volumetric 0.252) . Based on the test results above, it shows that rocks that have fractures will break more easily when pressure is applied, compared to compact rocks that have a long time in the uniaxial compressive strength test.

Concrete with various variants is a basic requirement in building a building. The concrete mixture is diverse depending on the planning made beforehand. The cement mixture is usually in the form of a mixture of artificial stone, cement, water and fine aggregates and coarse aggregates. Aggregates (fine aggregates and coarse aggregates) function as fillers in concrete mixtures. (Subakti, A., 1994). However, in building construction, additives are often added, but there is still a sense of uncertainty at the time of dismantling the mold and the reference before the concrete reaches sufficient strength to carry its own weight and the carrying loads acting on it. To overcome the time of carrying out work related to concrete, it is necessary to find an alternative solution, for example by looking for alternative ingredients of concrete mixture on the basis of consideration without reducing the quality of the concrete. From the results of previous studies it was stated that due to the partial replacement of cement with Fly Ash, the strength of the pressure and tensile strength of the concrete had increased (Budhi Saputro, A., 2008). Based on the description above, the author seeks to examine how the compressive strength of concrete characteristics that occur by adding additives Addition H.E in the concrete mixture and is there any additive Additon H.E effect on the increase in the compressive strength characteristic of the concrete. From the results of the study, it was found that the compressive strength of the concrete with the addition of additives HE was that after the compressive strength test of the concrete cube was carried out and the analysis of concrete compressive strength of 10 specimens, in each experiment a cube specimen was made with the addition of additons. HE with a dose of 80 cc, 120 cc, and 200 cc can accelerate and increase the compressive strength of concrete characteristics.
