Investigasi Keruntuhan Geser Balok Tinggi Beton Bertulang dan Beton Fiber Dengan Metode Eksperimental, Metode Numerik dan Metode Strut and Tie

Abstract

One reinforced beam element that experiences a shear failure is a high beam; a beam that follows a requirement based on SNI-2847-2013 standard that have the proportion of sliding span (l) and the effective height (d) not more than three. The type of collapse in high beams generally is shear failure in which the crack appears from the area around the placement, propagates and reaching the maximum value at the point of loading. Observation of crack patterns and ultimate loads can be done by several methods based on both non-linearity and linearity of materials. Two specimens consisted of one high beam conventional reinforced concrete and one high beam concrete fiber with a dimension of 170 mm x 420 mm x 850 mm were prepared. Fiber from machine turning waste was used as coarse aggregate substitution with 100% composition in fiber concrete. Both specimens were tested in the laboratory and observed for crack patterns analysis and ultimate load achievement. The experimental test results were then compared with the numerical test results for the non-linearity properties of the material and the Strut and Tie method for the linearity properties of the material. The ultimate high beam of conventional reinforced concrete when experiencing shear failure in the experimental method, numeric method, and strut and tie method were 310 KN, 290 KN, and 236.917 KN respectively,  whereas in the high beam fiber concrete, the ultimate load in the experimental method, numeric method, and in the strut and tie method were 280 KN, 260 KN, and 263,917 KN respectively. The biggest ratio of test results were obtained from the comparison between the numerical and the experimental methods in conventional concrete which was equal to 0.94. This showed the similarity of non-linearity properties of the material to produce adjacent test results.
