Abstract: Concrete is as one of building materials that is relatively
more used in development. Nowadays, there are more usages of
additional materials for increasing the quality of concrete such as
coming from gray and plant fiber. There are any kinds of bamboo
in Merauke Regency which has not been well used by the society.
Bamboo that is planted in Merauke Regency can be used as the
alternative additional material of plant fiber and as the changing
of steel carcass. This study intends to know the quality of concrete
strength by adding plant fiber and bamboo carcass. The
methodology consists of experimental method by using the variety
of bamboo fiber and carcass. The variety of bamboo fiber is as
0.5% and 1%. The evaluation and analysis of cleft pull strength
uses SK-SNI 03-2491-2002, concrete defraction strength uses SK
SNI 03-4431-1997, and concrete pressure strength uses SK SNI
03-6429-2000. The samples consists of 30 units with cylindrical
shape for cleft pulling strength and concrete pressure strength
tests; and 15 units with block shape for concrete fraction strength
test. Result shows that bamboo caracass in concrete is
significantly affected and it can be seen from the increasing of
diffraction strength which the normal concrete is 3.321 MPa and
on bamboo carcass type 3 is as 19.925 MPa. However, bamboo
carcass type 3 can be used as the changing of steel carcass mainly
for non-structural building
Keywords: concrete, concrete strength, bamboo fiber,

I. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, the development of technology is very fast. It is
due to there are many ideas and new innovation [1][2] such as
the development of concrete technology. Concrete has high
enough of pressure strength but it is weak to the pulling.
Therefore, the usage of concrete is always related to the
material which has high pulling strength such as steel.
Concrete with steel carcass is more used as building material
because it has very high pulling strength value but in real, the
high pulling strength value causes the new problem due to the
the steel carcass is as the non-renewable mineral material so it
will to the last anytime

Bamboo is as one of building material but it is rarely used for
construction design if it is compared with the other material
[3][4]. It is due to some factors such as to be easily attacked
by insect, easily to be burned, and the esthetic value is less
appreciated. Based on the some factor as above, there are any
advantages in using bamboo such as the pulling strength is
relatively high, the growth is fast and easily to be planted.
Serapu is a village in Merauke Regency; it is part of
Semangga District where ±15 km from city center is. Serapu
village has the potency of bamboo but it is not well used by
the society surrounded it. This study intended to find the
changing material as the natural yield such as bamboo.
Bamboo is as natural yield that has very high pulling strength.
Rivani et.al. [5] said that the addition of 0.25% on bamboo
skin cleft on normal concrete mix has caused the increasing of
concrete block strength capacity significantly. It is followed
by the increasing of ductility. The percentage value is as the
optimum content of bamboo cleft addition which is randomly
distributed in the test. The addition of 0.75% and 1% from
mix weight of normal concrete has decreased the strength of
sample block. The decreasing of strength is caused by the
decreasing of mix work ability. Gale [6] with the title: Crack
which is happened on the beginning of crash process is
diffraction crack which is marked by straight upright crack
pattern [7]. Generally, the crack is happened when the load
reaches more than 90% of theoretical load or about 70% of
crash load. The beginning crack is happened on loaded area at
surrounded roll supporting, then the crack is happened in the
middle of stretch and for the next in surrounded of joint and
on the contrary. Putra et.al. [8] with the title: “Capacity of
Bamboo Carcass Concrete Diffraction” expressed that
ultimate pulling tension of Petung bamboo without nodia (f
0
)
on 640 MPa and ultimate pulling tension of Petung bamboo
on 525 MPa produced ultimate mean of diffraction moment
from experiment was more than 24.7% from mean result of
theoretical analysis on Petung bamboo carcass without nodia
and on Petung bamboo carcass with Nodia the experiment
mean result is more than 39.4% from the analysis mean result,
so bamboo can be used as the changing of steel carcass on
concrete plat by holding the pulling force. Haryanto and
Hariyanto and Wikana [9] presented the Effort to Add
Diffraction Strength of Concrete Block with rope.

Due to the Pressure and Diffraction Strength
