Inovasi Sambungan Mekanis Menggunakan Clamp Baja Untuk Tulangan Beton

In the last few years, Indonesian urban growth has tends to be lead to the overground space. This was caused by the significant population increasement the lackness of land availability. The phenomenon is also marked with the increasing number of high-rise buildings and skyscrapers. However, high-rise buildings and skyscrapers have the potential dangers against earthquakes, even more Indonesia lay on an earthquake-prone areas. There are two main things that need to be considered in the planning of earthquake-resistant buildings, which is strength and ductility. Deformation capability and the connection strength between the reinforcement taken into consideration in the design of earthquake-resistant structures. From the steel clamp tensile test results for D13’s mechanical connection reinforcement, it gained 270.69 Mpa for yield strength, 351.45 MPa for ultimate tensile strength and 4757 kg for maximum load with 40% elongation. As for the D16’s mechanical connection reinforcement gained 217.80 MPa for yield strength, 327 605 MPa for ultimate tensile strength and 6717 kg for maximum load with 32% elongation. This study uses two pieces of steel clamp, but in order to obtain a better result then it need to be add more clamps while increasing the clamp steel material quality.
