- Abstract
Coastal buildings and infrastructure, especially piers or barges, definitely interact with sea water which has salinity, this will affect the physical and mechanical properties of ferrocement which will affect the life use of the building. So it is necessary to conduct research on the influence of the coastal environment on the physical and mechanical properties of ferrocement. The research was carried out by making ferrocement panels 25mm x 100mm x 500mm size, then the panels were placed in the coastal environment of Bandar Lampung City. The research results showed that the modulus of rupture/first crack of ferrocement decreased by 27.19% after being soaked for 8 weeks. The flexural strength of ferrocement decreased by 14.13% after being soaked for 8 weeks. Anomalies occurred at 1 and 2 weeks of immersion that showed an increase which indicated that cement hydration reactions were still occurring for up to 6 weeks. So, it is deemed necessary to carry out further studies regarding the increase in compressive strength of PCC cement mortar over time (effective age of the PCC cement hydration process). Another study needs to be carried out using a reinforcement ratio greater than 1% to study the level of durability and ductility.
