Abstract
Cement is the main component of construction that makes it a significant commodity. Portland Composite Cement (PCC) is one of new cement variants that has similar characteristic to Portland Cement, but with better quality, more environmentally friendly and cheaper in price. The objective of this research is to understand the influence of limestone to the compressive strength of the cement and to determine the percentage of added limestone that gives maximum compressive strength to PPC. The limestone varies added to the cement are 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%. The impact of added limestone can be studied from several tests such as fineness test, residue test, chemical composition test and cement compressive strength. The result shows that the higher percentage of limestone added to the cement, the higher the result for residue test and fineness test, but lower result for compressive strength. The highest compressive strength obtained is at 2 days age while the best composition of the blended cement is 77% clinker, 15% limestone, 3% gypsum and 5% blast furnace slag.
ABSTRAK
Semen merupakan bahan dasar utama konstruksi bangunan. Hal ini menjadikan semen merupakan komoditi yang strategis. Portland Composite Cement (PCC) merupakan jenis semen varian baru yang mempunyai sifat dan karakteristik hampir sama dengan semen Portland. Namun semen jenis PCC ini mempunyai kualitas yang lebih baik, ramah lingkungan dan harga yang lebih ekonomis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh penambahan limestone dengan berbagai variasi terhadap kuat tekan dan menentukan massa limestone yang dapat memberikan kuat tekan maksimum pada semen Portland komposit. Pembuatan semen Portland komposit dilakukan dengan penambahan limestone sebagai aditif. Variasi limestone yang ditambakan adalah 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 dan 25%. Pengaruh penambahan limestone dapat diketahui dari hasil uji kehalusan, uji residu, uji komposisi kimia semen dan uji kuat tekan semen. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa semakin besar persentase pemakaian limestone di dalam blended cement maka nilai residu dan nilai kehalusan akan semakin besar namun nilai kuat tekan akan semakin rendah. Kuat tekan semen yang tertinggi yaitu nilai kuat tekan pada umur 2 hari. Komposisi terbaik aditif limestone di dalam blended cement adalah 77% clinker, 15% limestone, 3% gypsum dan 5% blast furnace slag.
