APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT IN PYTHON FOR CONCRETE MIX DESIGN ACCORDING TO SNI 7656-2012

Abstract

Concrete mix design is an important aspect in concrete construction process as it determines the quality of produced concrete. In practice, the process of getting a suitable concrete mix for a certain project is repetitive process. For repetitive work, it is an advantage to be carried out by using an application. This study focuses on the development of the application that can used to design the concrete mixes. Python programming language was employed in the development because it offers easiness and supports a rapid application development. The work is started by studying the procedure outlined SNI 7656-2012. The pseudocode of the application was then developed and implemented in Python. Tkinter, the Python package, was used in the development of Graphical User Interface for the application. The application was successfully developed and tested to carry out the concrete mix design.
