CHAPTER 3

IMPLEMENTATION OF WORK
3.1 MATERIAL
Tools and materials are an important element in a construction
work. In practice, good management is necessary for the efficiency
of the use of tools and materials themselves. Procurement of work
equipment and building materials should be adjusted to the stages
of a work in progress. The placement of the right and efficient
worktools and building materials needs to be considered by the
team to accelerate and facilitate the work.
The location of building materials and heavy equipment providers
need to be considered also, so that the implementation of work is
optimally biased. In addition, the availability of building materials
must always be controlled so that there is no running out of building
materials. The placement of materials must also be adjusted to the
nature so that the risk of damage to building materials can be
reduced before use, especially in building materials that are
sensitive to environmental conditions such as cement and steel
joints.
Working tools play an important role in supporting the
implementation of the project. Tools to help carry out the heavy
work done by human beings. The use of tool work can also speed
up time and facilitate the implementation of projects.
The information needed in material planning is as follows:
1. The quality of the material needed in accordance with the
specifications of the plan.
2. Delivery time to be adjusted to the time schedule.
3. Termin and payment conditions to material logistics. Schedule of
material use. (Abrar,2010)

that serves to overcome the tensile strength of concrete. If the
structure is not given sufficient reinforcement iron reinforcement
there will be structural failure.

Concrete Reinforcement Iron construction serves to carry the

tensile voltage on concrete. The physical condition of the iron

should be new, gray, and not rusty. Work or fabrication of cutting

and bending of iron joints is carried out according to the needs in
the fabrication. So before doing the cutting and bending of
concrete reinforcing iron required reference or guidelines
containing detailed images along with the number of fabriced bone
needs.

A. Slump Test
The Laboratory issues a concrete mix design in accordance to the
concrete mix design f’c 60 Mpa to the batching plant teams. Then
batching plant teams provides ready mix f’c 60 Mpa according to field
requirement. Before casting the batching plant do testing as follows :
1. Japanese concrete standard Specifications(JIS A5308-2019}
2. Make sure slump test value, temperature before casting as
planned (slump 60±10 cm)
3. samplingof cylindrical specimens with dimensions of 15 x 30

 Table 3.5 Concrete Specification

Figure 3.4 Slump (60 ±5 cm)

B. Testing Strong Press Concrete

The concrete used in this project is using f’c 60 MPa concrete.
F’c 60 MPa shows the characteristics of maximum press strength of
concrete in kg/cm2 which is 600 kg/cm2, meaning that if the
concrete is pressed more than 600 kg/cm2 the concrete will be
crushed. In a building planning for concrete is usually the resulting
output is fc' in units of Mpa. Concrete is used for concrete with
cube-shaped press strong test measuring 15 cm x 30 cm

Meanwhile use f’c usus test objects cylindrical shape with a

diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm.
Here's a strong concrete press test:

Equipment

1. Cylindrical mold concrete (diameter 15 cm and height 30 cm).

2. Compression Machine.
3. Scales with thoroughness of 1 gram.

Testing Procedure :

1) Input ready mix concrete to be tested into cylinders that have

previously been smeared by lubricant / oil,
2) Put ready mix concrete little by little while in the skewers
using a stick / stick.
3) The mold is opened after 24 hours, then soaked in water,

4) Then tested (ages 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days) against cylindrical

concrete, concrete is weighed first then placed in the middle of the
compression machine,
5) Run the press machine, so that the test object is destroyed, note
the force to break up the sample test object seen from the tool

3.2.1 Bar Cutter

Bar cutter is a tool used to cut iron joints as needed. At the time of
installation of iron joints are often found the length of the joints that
have been attached differently and the surface of each joint is uneven.
These barcuts are used to spruce up the bones that have been
attached or to equalize the display of each of these bones. SNI
GQ46A maximum capacity of cut steel joints is 32 mmand minimum
capacity is 12mm.\

Figure 3.9 Bar cutter

3.2.2 Bending Rebar Machine

SNI 03-2847-2002 explains that bar bender is a tool used to

bend joints. In general, the joints have a straight shape, but not
always the use of looping in a straight-shaped field because there
are some construction jobs that require theshape of the joints to be
bent according to their needs such asbarges and column joints. The
diameter of 12 mm man canstill bend manually, but for diameters
larger than 12 mm it is very effective when using a bar bender to
speed up work
 Maximum bender bar capacity can bend steel with a diameter of 32
mm., so for the bending of the joints that are 8

to 12 mm in diameter is done manually with bending thatis not too

small the crooked angle while for the joints morethan 12 to
30mm using a bar bender (for a bending angle that is quite small
and complicated

3.2.4 Bucket

Concrete bucket is a too to transport concrete from the concrete

truck to the location

Concrete buckets can be used to open, close and lock materials so

they don't spill while on site
so this pumping is the most flexible and easily accessible method
to the foundry. the advantage of this method is that the risk of
segregation is smaller and can save time when compared to other
methods, it's just that what needs to be considered is the time to
return to the first layer to avoid cold joint
 Figure 3.12 Bucket

3.2.5 Tape

The meter is also known as a measuring tape or tape or can

also be referred to as a Roll Meter, which is a length measuring
instrument that can be rolled up, with a length of 25-50 meters. This
meter is often used by builders or road width gauges. The accuracy
of measurement with a rollmeter is up to 0.5 mm. Roll meters are
generally made of plastic or thin iron plates. The units used in the
Roll Meter are mm or cm, feet or inches. Tape measure or Roll
Meter is available in lengths of 10 meters, 15 meters, 30 meters to
50 meters. The measuring tape is generally divided at 5 mm or 10
mm intervals

Used to measure distance or length. The meter is also useful

for measuring angles, making right angles, and can also be used to
make circles. At the end of the tape is equipped with a hook and is
magnetized to make it easier when taking measurements,
 Figure 3.13 Tape

3.2.6 Caliper

A caliper is a measuring instrument capable of

measuring the distance, depth, and 'inner diameter' of an object
with a very good level of accuracy and precision (±0.05 mm). The
measurement results of the three functions of the tool are read in
the same way. This tool is widely used in various fields of the
engineering industry (engineering), starting from the design/design
process, manufacturing/manufacturing, to final product checking.
This tool is widely used because it has a fairly high level of
accuracy and precision, is easy to use, easy to carry, and does not
require special care. It is for this reason that the caliper is
preferred by engineers (engineers) over conventional measuring
tools such as rulers

3.4,3 Erection
Erection is the process of installing girder beams to the erection
location. The erection process is a high-risk job so you have to
prepare such as good access land and a good crane position. Bad
land is one of the inhibiting factors because the soil must be solid and
not sink during the erection process. The erection process is
completed in 2 days based on analysis and 3 days based on filed
implementation
