PENGARUH METODE PERAWATAN TERHADAP KUAT TEKAN BATAKO DAN PAVING BLOCK

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the appropriate maintenance method for bricks
and paving blocks, both those that use fly ash and those that do not. The treatment
methods used in the laboratory were water soaking, wet burlap wrap, plastic wrap,
and no treatment with treatment ages of 7 days, 28 days, and 56 days. In the research
conducted at the factory, the treatment methods used were water soaking and no
treatment with treatment ages of 8 days, 18 days, 29 days, and 61 days. The highest
compressive strength results in the laboratory reached 24 MPa for specimens without
fly ash and 18 MPa for specimens with fly ash at 28 days with wet jute wrap treatment.
The result of the optimum compressive strength of bricks in the factory reached 16.85
MPa for bricks without fly ash and 19.6 MPa for bricks with fly ash at 61 days with
the no-treatment method. The highest average compressive strength of paving blocks
in the factory reached 15.28 MPa for paving blocks without fly ash at 61 days with
the no-treatment method, while paving blocks with fly ash reached 19.6 MPa at 18
days with the no-treatment method.
