Abstract
The annual production of heavy concrete in PT XYZ is about 75,000 upto 100,000 metric tons which consist of approximately 83% heavy aggregate (i.e. iron ore), 12% portland cement, and 5% water. To improve the competitive advantage of the company, PT XYZ intends to modify the existing design mix by adding certain amount of medium density material (e.g. crushed stone) in to the mixture while reducing the amount of the heavy aggregates and maintaining its CTQ characteristics. The CTQ characteristics of the product are compressive strength and density. The density of the product depends on the individual density and the proportion of the aggregates in the mixture, while the compressive strength depends mostly on the water to cement ratio.
Based on the results obtained from this research it is concluded that the optimum proportion (by volume) of the new design mix are 0,071 (water), 0,097 (cement), 0,357 crushed stone, and 0,475 (coarse iron ore) for density minimum of 3040 kgs/m3 and minimum compressive strength 40 MPa. The new design mix will potentially save 19% of the material cost compared to the old design mix.
