ABSTRACT
Shrinkage of concrete causes a serious problem in concrete. If concrete is
restrained from shrinking, tensile stresses develop and it may exceed the tensile
strength of concrete which causes the concrete cracks. One possible method to
control or reduce the adverse effects of cracking due to shrinkage in concrete
structures is the addition of fiber in the concrete. Steel fiber can improve structural

strength, ductility, reduce crack widths and control the crack. In sandwich layer
where its material comprises of steel fiber reinforced concrete and some other by
plain concrete. The shrinkage behavior has been considerably different compared
to fiber reinforced concrete and plain concrete. Therefore this study investigates
the behavioral of shrinkage on the steel fiber reinforced concrete on sandwich
layer concept.
The test specimens were made by steel fiber dosages of 10 kg/m 3, 30kg/m3,
50 kg/m3, 80kg/m3and 100 kg/m3 and some others for sandwich layer specimen
with similar fiber dosages combined with plain concrete. The specimen form was
cylinder 5 cm in diameter and 27 cm in high for drying shrinkage test. All samples
were placed in open air on ambient temperature environment. The shrinkage was
recorded on 1 day to 56 days. The shrinkage prediction for three year or 1000
days was also calculated. Both recorded and predicted shrinkage were then
compared.
The test result showed that plain concrete experienced the highest drying
shrinkage and the addition of steel fiber reduced the drying shrinkage that
occurred at concrete. The greater amount of fiber contained in the concrete, the
lower occurrence of drying shrinkage. The shrinkage on sandwich samples
recorded moderate compared to plain concrete, however this shrinkage is higher
compared to samples of fully fiber reinforced concrete at the same fiber dosage.

The three group of samples; steel fiber reinforced concrete, sandwich concrete and
plain concrete showed the same trend of shrinkage curves following the time of
hydration. The presence of steel fiber in concrete can effectively hinder drying
shrinkage and affected the crack that can reduce and control the shrinkage of
concrete.

ABSTRAK
Penyusutan beton menyebabkan masalah serius dalam beton. Jika beton
tertahan dari menyusut, tegangan tarik mengembangkan dan mungkin melebihi
kekuatan Tarik beton yang menyebabkan beton retak. Salah satu metode yang
mungkin untuk mengendalikan atau mengurangi dampak dari retakan karena susut
dalam struktu beton adalah penambahan serat dalam beton. Serat baja dapat

meningkatkan kekuatan struktural, daktilitas, mengurangi lebar retak dan
mengontrol retak. Dalam lapisan Sandwich mana terdiri materialnya serat baja
beton bertulang dan beberapa lainnya oleh beton normal. Perilaku penyusutan
telah jauh berbeda dibandingkan dengan serat beton bertulang dan beton normal.
Oleh karena itu penelitian ini ingin mengetahui perilaku penyusutan pada serat
baja beton bertulang pada konsep lapisan sandwich.
Spesimen uji dibuat dengan dosis serat baja dari 10 kg/m3, 30kg/m3, 50
kg/m3, 80kg/m 3dan 100 kg/m3 dan beberapa lainnya untuk Sandwich lapisan
specimen dengan dosis serat yang sama dikombinasikan dengan beton normal.
Bentuk specimen adalah silinder dengan diameter 5 cm dan tinggi 27 cm untuk uji
pengeringan penyusutan. Semua sampel ditempatkan di udara terbuka pada suhu
lingkungan. Penyusutan ini direkam pada 1 hari sampai 56 hari. Prediksi
penyusutan selama tiga tahun atau 1000 hari juga dihitung. Keduanya dicatat dan
diprediksi susut tersebut kemudian dibandingkan.

Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa beton normal mengalami pengeringan
penyusutan tertinggi dan penambahan serat baja mengurangi susut pengeringan
yang terjadi pada beton. Jumlah yang lebih besar dari serat yang terkandung
dalam beton, terjadinya rendah pengeringan penyusutan. Penyusutan pada sampel
Sandwich tercatat moderat dibandingkan dengan beton normal, namun penyusutan

ini lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan sampel penuh serat beton bertulang pada
dosis serat yang sama. Tiga kelompok sampel; serat baja beton bertulang,
sandwich beton dan beton normal menunjukkan kecenderungan yang sama dari

kurva penyusutan setelah waktu hidrasi. Kehadiran sera baja dalam beton dapat
secara efektif menghambat pengeringan susut dan mempengaruhi celah yang
dapat mengurangi dan mengontrol susut beton.
