- Abstract
This research report presents a gradation analysis of fine aggregates, a comparison of Cimangkok Sand, Jebrog Sand, River Sand, and Sea Sand in Sukabumi. Fine aggregate gradation analysis is essential in concrete mix design and other construction applications. The purpose of this study was to understand the gradation characteristics and compare the quality of different types of fine aggregates for use in construction. The methodology involves collecting sand samples from various locations in Sukabumi, to ensure a representative sample for each type of sand to be analyzed. Qualitative analysis was conducted to assess cleanliness The results of qualitative analysis showed that all sand samples met hygiene standards and suitability for fine aggregates. However, there may be variations in physical characteristics depending on the source of sand. Gradation analysis produces a gradation curve for each type of sand. The findings of this study provide information showing that the specific gravity of fine aggregates is within the normal range (2.475 to 2.718), which is in line with the standard for fine aggregates in construction. The fill weight of fine aggregate also meets the requirements, being in the range of 1.416 to 1.740, according to normal concrete standards. However, mud content in sand shows significant variation, with Pelabuhan Ratu Sand having the lowest mud content (2.6%) and Jebrog Sand having the highest mud content (21.8%). This condition corresponds to the requirement that fine aggregate must have a sludge content of less than 5%. The results of the sieve analysis showed that Cimangkok Sand and Jebrog Sand were included in zone 1 (coarse sand) with greater particle distribution variations. Pelabuhan Ratu Sand is included in Zone 4 (fine sand), and Cipelang Sand is also included in Zone 1 (coarse sand). This research provides insight into the characteristics of fine aggregates from different types of sand in Sukabumi and how these characteristics can affect the quality of construction materials. The results of this study are expected to help construction professionals in selecting suitable sand for various types of construction projects, including concrete, asphalt, and others.
