Comparison Analysis of the Strength of Cement Bricks and Sago Bricks

Abstract

Objective from study This For know how much big strong press on the brick sago that can become material addition as one _ alternative material building. Pith sago only end become waste on site processing sago in a manner tradition in Maluku Province. Study about utilization pith sago Already done However Not yet can utilized as product brick . Study This use print measuring 290 x 120 x 80mm. Composition Concrete brick sago sand 53%, cement 25%, pith sago 6%, water 16%, for cement brick test object on the market For tested the comparison . Heavy average cement brick 5297.90 gr and sago brick of 3602.54 gr with percentage weight 31.97% more light . Strong test results press Concrete brick cement obtained respectively 3.4 MPa, 2.4 MPa, 5.9 MPa. Concrete brick sago produce strong press respectively 20.5 MPa, 21.3 MPa, 24.1 MPa with strong average press of 22 MPa, so up to comparison strong very significant press . B atako sago produce strong press more _ tall from cement brick with percentage _ strong press to Concrete brick sago of 82.25%. Percentage elasticity Concrete brick sago to cement brick by 58.60%. Concrete brick sago own strength more compressive and elasticity _ big from cement bricks up to can used as one _ material building specifically for non- structural Because characteristic ductile
