Experimental Study of Beam-Column Joints Reinforced Concrete with Fiber Concrete and Fly-Ash

Reinforced concrete elements in the beam - column joint (HBK) plays a very important role for maintaining the structure when subjected to the lateral load, despite the presence of many bars in the area often results in imperfections implementation. The use of fly-ash and fiber in the area of HBK can be one of available solutions; both can increase the strength of concrete and reduce the reinforcement. This study discusses the usage of fly-ash in concrete with proportion of 25% by weight of cement and dramix steel fibers and 10 kg for one m(3) of concrete. This study uses the specimens of HBK with a variation of the concrete at age of 28 and 90 days. The analysis of 28 days HBK results: specimen with normal and with fly ash have average load of 10.53 kN and 6.97 kN where specimen with Fly-ash + additive has 12.65 kN (20.13% higher than normal specimen). At the age of 90 days, HBK with normal concrete, fly ash and fiber concrete can withstand load at 12.73 kN, 10.87 kN, and 13.15 kN respectively, where HBK with fiber + fly-ash reaches at 13.38 kN or has 5.00% more than HBK with normal concrete.
