Steel as one of construction materials has several advantages compared to other construction materials. One of the advantages is it can withstand large tensile loads compared to wood and concrete. This research was conducted to find out the strength of the connection of two-faced steel plate tension member with bolts connection through experiment and compare it with theoretical calculations by using Allowable Stress Design (ASD) method. The focused structure is a two-faced connection tension member that is connected using bolts. Steel plated that used in this research are 8 mm and 10 mm thickness with bolt sizes Ø ¼ ", Ø 3/8" and Ø ½ ", each connection using three bolts as connector. The testing of the tension member connections in the laboratory is carried out by gradually loading the tensile load until the tensile member reaches the ultimate load. The results of experimental and theoretical research found that theoretical calculation of tensile strength smaller than tensile strength done experimentally.
This study aims to determine the effect of precast concrete joints on the resulting ductility. The research method was experimentally in a laboratory-based on ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and ACI (American Concrete Institute). The design of concrete compressive strength was 14.50 MPa. The specimen used in this research consist of four beams, which are TRC (Top Reinforcement Concrete), THB (Top Hollow Block), BRC (Bottom Reinforcement Concrete), and BHB (Bottom Hollow Block). The size of beam used was 15 × 20 × 210 cm with the diameter of reinforcement bar were 12 mm (threaded steel) and 10 mm meanwhile the diameter of plain steel was 6 mm. The result showed that the ductility of TRC beam was 2.024, the ductility of THB beam was 2.526, the ductility of BRC beam was 1.237, and the ductility of BHB beam was 1.611. The ductility for hollow block is greater than normal reinforced concrete beam. Meanwhile, the load that occurs for hollow blocks is smaller.
