Abstract
Concrete is strong material in compression, but weak in tension. The weakness of concrete can
be minimised with some of concrete improvement, one of them isconcrete fiber. Concrete fibers
are additonal fibers admixture in a concrete mix. The sansieviera is one plant that contains
highfiber,so it is worth to developing in the field of concrete engineering. The objective of this
research was to determine the value of tensile strength of concrete and the variation of fiber
length on concrete that will experience the highest tensile strength. The test specimens for the
tensile strength of cylindrical shape with the height of 30 cm and the diameter of 15 cm as much
as 24 specimens. Variation of fiber length of sansieviera with variation of 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4
cm and 5 cm with percentage addition of 0.075% on aggregate weight. A concrete mixture
usedwater cement ratio of 0.5 and a slump of 60-100 mm. The result of concrete tensile strength
test with the addition of sansiviera fiber on variation of fiber length 1 cm and 2 cm were
2,999 MPa and 2,870 MPa increased up to 7,818% and 3,165% to normal concrete, variation
of fiber length 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm 2,759 MPa,2,745 MPa and 2,700 MPa decreased to
0,817%, 1,299% and 2,920% toward normal concrete.The highest value of tensile strength in
the variation of length 1 cm by the percentage value increased in the highest tensile strength of
7,818% compared normal concrete.
