(Similarity) Utilization Of Concrete Panels With Reinforced From Bamboo Petung Indonesia For Irrigation Water Gate

The cost of maintenance of irrigation infrastructure including water gates has absorbed substantial budget of APBN Directorate of Water Resources of PUPR Ministry, it is necessary to design water gate which is cheaper, easy to maintain and durable. One of them is to make a water gate from concrete panel with reinforcement from bamboo petung. After conducting laboratory study by making concrete panel with size 40 cm x 60 cm with water gate thickness of 3 cm and 3.5 cm, then variation of concrete quality used include K175, K. 225, K.300 and K.300 so obtained concrete panels with 8 different variations. From a series of experiments that have been done, the concrete structure in the form of panels with bamboo reinforcement can be used and able to withstand the hydrostatic load of water so it can be used as a plate on the water gate. The most optimal construction on effective thickness 3 cm with K.175 quality and bamboo reinforcement with a distance of 5 cm with the ability to hold eban up to 1080 kg.
