Abstract

Reinforced concrete is a composite material that has had an impact on development in recent decades. Based on this condition, it is necessary to anticipate the reinforced concrete forming materials, one of which is the steel reinforcement. Bamboo is a material that can be renewed by nature, possibly as an alternative to the reinforcement. The basic weakness of bamboo is weathering problems, so that innovation is needed, namely by laminating it with fiberglass. In addition, to overcome the problem of initial cracking in reinforced concrete, it was tried by adding micro polypropylene fibers. Concrete mix design using SNI 7656: 2012. From the test results, the effect of using bamboo reinforcement coated with fiberglass gives good results with an increase in the flexural test carried out. Meanwhile, with the addition of micro polypropylene fibers according to the applicable standards, it has not been seen to help properly to overcome the initial crack width that occurs as a whole, although there are several conditions that appear to give differences to the existing test results.
