ABSTRACT

FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF WALL PANELS WITH WIREMESH
REINFORCEMENT
Wall is one of the important elements of the building and serves to separate and form
a space in residential buildings or storied. After brick and lighweight cooncrete walls
to the current development of construction projects have come the use of wall panels.
Wall panels are generally made using a concrete mixture like usual (water, fine
aggregates, coarse aggregates, cement) and given reinforcement inside.
Reinforcement used in this research is wiremesh. The aims of this research are to
analizing the value of compressive strength of concrete cylinder, analyzing value of
compressive strength of concrete cylinder, to analyzing flexural strength of wall
panels without wiremesh reinforcement, and to analyzing value flexural strength of
wallpanels with wiremesh reinforcement The specimen is made with dimension width
50 cm, length 100 cm, and a height of 7 cm for flexural strength testing. Life of
concrete that is planned is 28 days. The purpose of this research is to analyze the
flexural strength of wall panels with wiremesh reinforcement. In this research there
are several stages. The first step is preparation of equipment and materials. The
second stage includes the examination of materials, mix design and manufacture of
concrete mix. The third stage is the manufacture and maintenance of the test
specimen. The fourth stage is testing of compressive strength concrete and flexural
strength wall panels. The fifth stage is the data analysis, discussion, and conclusion.
Results of lightweight concrete compressive strength is 21, 18 MPa, flexural strength
panel walls without reinforcement wiremesh is 3.293 MPa, flexural strength while the
wall panels with wiremesh reinforcement is 5.694 MPa.

Keywords : wall panels, wiremesh, flexural strength
Dinding merupakan salah satu elemen penting dari bangunan dan berfungsi untuk
memisahkan dan membentuk ruang pada bangunan tempat tinggal atau bertingkat.
Setelah batu bata dan dinding beton ringan untuk perkembangan konstruksi telah
menggunakan panel dinding. Dinding panel umumnya dibuat menggunakan
campuran beton seperti biasa (air, agregat halus, agregat kasar, semen) dan ditambah
perkuatan. Perkuatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah wiremesh. Tujuan
dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa nilai kuat tekan beton silinder, untuk
menganalisis kuat lentur dinding panel tanpa penguatan wiremesh, dan untuk
menganalisis nilai kuat lentur dari dinding panel dengan perkuatan wiremesh. Benda
uji dibuat dengan dimensi lebar 50 cm, panjang 100 cm, dan tinggi 7 cm untuk
pengujian kuat lentur. Umur beton yang direncanakan adalah 28 hari. Tujuan dari
penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis kekuatan lentur panel dinding dengan
tulangan wiremesh. Dalam penelitian ini ada beberapa tahapan. Langkah pertama
adalah persiapan peralatan dan bahan. Tahap kedua meliputi pemeriksaan bahan,
perencanaan campuran beton. Tahap ketiga adalah pembuatan dan perawatan benda
uji. Tahap keempat adalah pengujian kuat tekan beton dan kuat lentur dinding panel.
Tahap kelima adalah analisis data, diskusi, dan kesimpulan. Hasil kuat tekan beton
ringan adalah 21, 18 MPa, dinding panel kekuatan lentur tanpa tulangan wiremesh
adalah 3,293 MPa, kekuatan lentur sedangkan panel dinding dengan tulangan
wiremesh adalah 5,694 MPa.
Kata kunci : dinding panel, wiremesh, kuat lentur
