Data from
the DPUPR of Sragen district, the price of Merapi sand in 2020 is IDR 1,590,000
then in 2021 the price of Merapi sand is IDR 1,680,000. The increase in the
material price of Merapi sand in Sragen Regency has forced the brick maker UD.
Cerah, whose address is in Dayu village, Jurang Jero sub-district, Karangmalang
sub-district, Sragen district, is again racking her brains to set a selling
price for the bricks to avoid losses. The making of the brick itself cannot be
separated from the costs incurred for purchasing raw materials, purchasing
equipment for making bricks, and labor costs. So with the high price of Merapi
sand material, it requires that the brick maker, UD. Sunny innovates by
replacing the cheaper sand material. In this study using experimental methods
for making bricks, using the full costing method for calculating production
costs and using the depreciation method to obtain the annual depreciation load
for brick machines. Based on research on the characteristics of fine aggregate
river sand from Ngipang village, Gawan sub-district, Tanon sub-district, Sragen
district, the results of testing for silt content, testing for organic matter
content, testing for specific gravity and water absorption, gradation testing
met the requirements while testing for saturated surface dry (SSD) did not meet
the requirements. Then research on the characteristics of fine aggregate from
coal waste (bottom ash) obtained the results of testing for mud content,
testing for organic matter content, testing for gradation that met the
requirements while testing for specific gravity and water absorption, testing
for saturated surface dry (SSD) did not meet the requirements. Based on the
research on the compressive strength test of the bricks, it was found that the compressive
strength of the bricks from river sand, Ngipang village, Gawan sub-district,
Tanon sub-district, Sragen district was greater than the compressive strength
of the bricks from coal waste (bottom ash), the maximum average compressive
strength value of bricks from river sand in the village Ngiang, Gawan
sub-district, Tanon sub-district, Sragen district obtained a value of 6.51 MPa
on the 1PC : 5PS FAS mixture variation of 0.5, while the maximum compressive
strength value of bricks made from coal waste (bottom ash) obtained a value of
5.10 MPa on the variation mix 1PC : 5BA FAS 0.6. Based on research on the
production costs of making bricks, it was found that the production costs of
making 1 m3 of river sand bricks in Ngipang village, Gawan
sub-district, Tanon sub-district, Sragen district were greater than the
production costs of making 1 m3 of coal waste (bottom ash) bricks,
the production costs of 1 m3 river sand bricks in Ngipang village,
village Gawan, Tanon sub-district, Sragen district, the highest is in the mix
variation of 1PC: 5PS FAS 0.6 with the production cost of IDR 962,237.49, while
the largest 1 m3 coal waste (bottom ash) brick production cost is in
the 1PC mix variation: 5BA FAS 0.6 with a production cost of IDR 659,285.51.
