Concrete is widely used as a structural material in buildings. Concrete is obtained by mixing portland cement, water, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate, sometimes also mixed with chemical or non-chemical additives in certain proportions. Concrete is chosen because its constituent materials are easily obtained, can be molded and shaped according to needs, and has good compressive strength. However, concrete has a weakness, namely its low tensile strength value, so that sudden collapse can occur. Therefore, innovation is needed in mixing concrete with additional materials, one of which is using fiber material which is expected to increase the tensile strength value and avoid cracks that will cause sudden collapse.
In this study, fiber material will be added to concrete using wooden nails. The wooden nails used are wooden nails with a size of 2.5 inches or 5 cm with variations in the content of nails added as much as 0%, 20/0, 4%, and 6% of the weight of the cement. The analysis review in this study is the value of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural tensile strength using cylindrical test objects with a diameter of 1.5 cm and a height of 30 cm, and beam test objects with a size of 15 x 15 x 60 cm. The age of the concrete to be tested is 28 days.
From the test results, the highest strength value was obtained at a fiber weight composition of 4% of the cement weight with a compressive strength value of 22.27 MPa, when compared to the compressive strength of normal concrete which is only 15.57 MPa, there is an increase of 43.03%, for the splitting tensile strength value of 2.341 MPa compared to normal concrete of 2.130 MPa, there is an increase of 37.93%, for the flexural tensile strength value of 4.20 MPa compared to normal concrete of 2.791 MPa, there is an increase of 50.62%. The compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural tensile strength values increased when 2% and 4% fiber material was added, but decreased when 6% fiber material was added. This shows that the most optimal addition of 5 cm wood nail fiber material is 4% of the weight of cement.
