PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN KAPUR TOHOR TERHADAP SIFAT MEKANIS BATA RINGAN

AbstractLight brick is an alternative material in the construction sector that has an efficiency value, in addition to being lighter than conventional bricks for building loads, lightweight bricks also reduce the use of materials during construction. One of the uses of light bricks is on walls. This is because the walls contribute to the heavy load on the building structure. Along with the development of the use of light bricks, research was carried out on light bricks with quick lime mixture as a substitute for part of the cement on light bricks which refers to the mechanical properties of light bricks which include free compressive strength testing, while the variation of the mixture used is 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the volume of cement used. The results of the compressive strength of light bricks at the age of 28 days, respectively, the variation of the lime mixture 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% obtained compressive strength of 0.96 Mpa, 0.81 Mpa, 0.43 Mpa, and 0.32 Mpa where compressive strength The maximum is obtained in the lime mixture as much as 5%, is 0.96 Mpa.
