Abstract
Concrete mixtures can be added to improve the characteristics of concrete or reduce the composition of concrete. Materials that can be used as additives in concrete mixes are polypropylene fibers from strapping band materials. The research carried out is a technical examination of the ingredient concrete and determine the design of the concrete mix composition. Mixing is done in 2 (two) stages, normal concrete mixing and concrete mixing with additional strapping band material. The addition of strapping band fibers is done with 3 (three) variations namely 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% of the weight of cement. The results showed that more and more strapping band fibers would reduce the compressive strength of concrete. The compressive strength value of normal concrete is 302.55 kg/cm². While the compression strength value of concrete with the addition of strapping band fibers of 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% obtained respectively 271.34 kg/cm2, 262.11 kg/cm2 and 234.14 kg/cm2.
