PENGARUH TEPUNG LIMBAH TEGEL KERAMIK SEBAGAI FILLER TERHADAP PERMEABILITAS ADUKAN

Abstract

ABSTRACT
This research aimed to investigate the permeability of mortar mixed with
ceramic tile powder, in order to find alternative filler material that can slow the
permeability speed of mortar.
This experimental research used 120 samples in four categories of filler
composition (0%, 35 %,37.5 % and 40 %). Mortar with composition of 1 cement
: 4 sand : 0 ceramic tile powder (by weight) was used as control variable.
Descriptive and statistical methods were used to analyse the results of this
research. The statistical analysis includes the value of mean (M) and standard
deviation (SO).
From the results, it can be concluded that there were significant differences
regarding the value of permeability among the composition variations. The
maximum permeability could be reached by the mortar with composition of 1
cement : 4 sand : 35 % ceramic tile powder and followed by the mortar with
composition of 1 cement: 4 sand: 37.5 % ceramic tile powder and 1 cement: 4
sand: 40% ceramic tile powder.
