accordance with the art in each region so as to form comfort for the community and create beauty
for the urban area, such as the example of Kediri City. Kediri City revitalizes its green open space in
which there is work on the food court building to support its activities. In the construction of the
food court building, there are 2 aspects of work, namely structure and architecture. The
construction of the food court building uses a reinforced concrete structure with K-250 concrete
specifications and has 2 floors, while the front side of the 2nd floor forms a sloping side above which
the landscape area is used as a playground for the people of Kediri city residents.
The construction of the food court building has aspects of reinforced concrete structure work,
in which there are several problems. The problem that occurs is that there are cracks in a reinforced
concrete structure, namely the beam structure. In a building structure, the main thing that must be
planned as carefully as possible is to avoid unwanted things. The structure is a frame or
interconnected rods to channel the load into the ground; if the structure has a problem, then the
loads that occur cannot be channeled into the ground; therefore, in planning, the structure must be
as careful as possible.
Cracks that occur in the main structure, namely the beam. A beam is a structural element that
receives forces acting in the transverse direction against its axis, resulting in bending and shear
forces along its span (Dipohusodo, 1994; Roy et al., 2021). Cracks occur due to the beam's inability
to withstand the loads that work. Cracks arising in the medium category are about 1 mm - 2 mm
wide. The cracks are circular, with an average length of about 60 cm, and are found in several areas
that amount to about 10 points. The cracking problem will become serious if not handled properly.
The problem that occurs is the collapse of a building, which causes many losses to occur. In this case,
various studies are needed to handle it so that it becomes a sturdy and safe building (ACI Committe
224, 2007).
Various structural reinforcement methods can overcome the cracks that occur. The method of
repairing cracks can be done by means of the concept of jacketing, which is useful for preventing
cracks from arising again by enlarging the dimensions of beams and columns. The main advantage
of this system is that it increases the strength and ductility limit of concrete, and the second
advantage is that jacketing protects against fragment damage. The repaired structure can accept
loads because jacketing can reduce shear force failure and bending moment failure, but it can also
provide an increase in the capacity of the structure itself so that this jacketing method can solve the
existing problems.
Some previous research on the analysis of beam structure reinforcement shows various
methods used to improve the performance of reinforced concrete beams. Luastika et al. (2019)
examined the flexural reinforcement of reinforced concrete beams using Glass Fiber Reinforced
Polymer (GFRP), which increased beam flexural strength up to 1304.99 MPa with a reinforcement
percentage of 153%. Furthermore, Puspita et al. (2018) analyzed flexural cracking in high-strength
reinforced concrete beams repaired with epoxy injection, focusing on the injection capacity to
repair the structure of high-strength concrete beams. Wibisono (2017) added strip steel plates as
flexural reinforcement to reinforced concrete beams, which significantly improved the ability of the
beams to resist flexure. Kaontole et al. (2015) evaluated the capacity of reinforced concrete columns
reinforced with the concrete jacketing method, where this improvement increased the capacity up
to 64.25 Kn.
