Abstract

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a plastic concrete that is easy to flow because the weight itself fills all molds which are cooled concrete have properties to compose itself. Conventional concrete construction work that has large specific gravity and concrete compaction or vibration is necessary. The purpose of compaction itself is to minimize the air trapped in fresh concrete (fresh concrete) so that the concrete becomes homogeneous and the hole does not occur. To get concrete one of them is the addition of nylon fiber concrete as a substitute for aggregate concrete with Self Compacting Concrete. Nylon fiber is a material with polymer fibers that have fiber, film and plastic properties. The purpose of this study is to determine the compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity of fiber concrete using Nylon Fiber instead of aggregate. The method used is an experimental study with variations in the percentage of nylon volume to coarse aggregates of 0.5% and 1%
