Abstract

The strength of the concrete greatly determines the quality of the rigid pavement construction itself. Concrete’s flexural strength is considered much smaller than the compressive strength value. This is because concrete has a brittle nature, so an elastic material is needed to be able to withstand loads optimally. To optimize it, adding fiber is one way that can be used in the concrete mixture. Three types of fiber were prepared in this research: synthetic fiber (Polypropylene), natural fiber (palm fiber), and waste fiber (crumb waste). This research aims to determine the comparative influence of these fiber types on the flexural strength of rigid concrete pavement. Apart from that, this research also reviews the influence of fiber type on changes in the workability value and bulk weight produced by each type of fiber. To obtain accurate and accountable results, the use of fiber in the concrete mixture is only fiber content percentage: 1% of fine aggregate. The results show that crumb fibers provide the most optimal effect in increasing the flexural strength of concrete up to 7,48 Mpa, followed by polypropylene fibers with results of 7,29 Mpa. On the other hand, palm fiber has the lowest flexural strength result, which is only 6,24 Mpa, which is lower than the normal concrete of 7,02 Mpa.
