Abstract :
The use of plastic continues to increase from time to time, causing the
amount of waste to increase. One of the serious problems facing Indonesia today
is the accumulation of plastic waste which reaches 3.22 million tons per year,
which cannot be properly managed.
In this paper, the authors utilize HDPE plastic waste as the addition of
coarse aggregate in concrete. The aim is to determine the normal compressive
strength of concrete with the addition of artificial coarse aggregate from HDPE
plastic and silica fume, to the compressive strength of K-225 concrete, which aims
to determine the effect of adding artificial coarse aggregate made of plastic
(HDPE) and the most optimal sillica fume for making concrete. K-225.
From the results of the concrete compressive strength test at the age of 28
days with a variation of 0% coarse aggregate HDPE and Silica fume, 5% coarse
aggregate HDPE + Silica Fume 9%, 10% coarse aggregate HDPE + Silica Fume
9%, and 15% coarse aggregate HDPE + Silica Fume 9%. In the Normal Concrete
Variation + 10% HDPE Plastic Coarse Aggregate + 9% Silica Fume has the
highest characteristic compressive strength value of 242.956 kg/cm2, while in the
Normal Concrete variation + 15% HDPE Plastic Coarse Aggregate + 9% Silica
Fume has a characteristic compressive strength value 205,958 kg/cm2
