Flexural and Splitting Tensile Strength of High Strength Concrete with Diatomite Micro Particles as Mineral Additive

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the flexural and splitting tensile strength of high strength concrete (HSC) with diatomite micro particles (DMP) as a mineral additive. In order to have micro particles, the diatomite from Aceh Besar District was ground and sieved with sieve size of 250 mm. The particles were then calcined at the temperature of 600 °C for 5 hours. Four mixtures were designed with different DMP to binder ratio (DMP/b). The ratio was 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%, and the water to binder ratio was 0.3. Four beam specimens with a size of 10 cm × 10 cm × 40 cm and four cylinder-specimens with 10 cm diameter and 20 cm high were prepared for each mixture. Flexural and splitting tensile tests were conducted based on ASTM C78 and ASTM C496/496M. The maximum flexural strength was reached at DMP/b of 5% while the maximum splitting tensile strength was reached at DMP/b of 0%.
