The rapid expansion of construction activities has led to increased concrete consumption, resulting in excessive exploitation of natural aggregate resources and growing environmental concerns. To mitigate this issue, ceramic waste has been investigated as an alternative material in concrete production. This study examines the effect of ceramic waste powder used as a filler on the workability and compressive strength of concrete. Ceramic waste powder was applied as a partial replacement for fine aggregate at proportions of 0%, 15%, 25%, 35%, and 45%. The concrete mixtures were produced using Ordinary Portland Cement Type I, natural sand, crushed stone as coarse aggregate, and potable water, all conforming to Indonesian National Standards (SNI). Workability was assessed through slump tests in accordance with SNI 1972:2008, while compressive strength tests were performed on cylindrical specimens at 28 days following SNI 1974:2011. The compressive strength for each mixture was determined from the average of three specimens. The results show that increasing ceramic waste content slightly reduced slump values, from 17.20 cm in the control mix to 16.60 cm at 45% replacement, although all mixtures met the required workability standards. A gradual decrease in compressive strength was also observed, from 17.79 MPa to 16.65 MPa at the highest replacement level. However, this reduction was not significant, indicating that ceramic waste powder can be used in normal-strength concrete without substantially affecting performance. The utilization of ceramic waste therefore represents a sustainable alternative to reduce natural aggregate consumption while maintaining acceptable concrete properties.

Adolescence is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, usually from 10-19 years. One of the signs of physical changes in young women will be experiencing increased hormone levels which can cause the maturation of the breasts, ovaries, uterus and vagina as well as in young women starting to experience menstruation. Menstruation begins between the ages of 12-15 years and lasts until the age of 45-50 years, one of the most common complaints felt by adolescents during menstruation is dysmenorrhea. According to WHO, this is the population at the age of 10-19 years, while according to PEMENKES RI Number 25 of 2014 adolescents are residents aged 10-18 years, according to the BKKBN unmarried adolescents aged 10-24 years. Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) can have an impact on activities or activities of women, especially teenagers. If a student experiences dysmenorrhea, their learning activities at school are disrupted and they do not attend school. For example, a student who experiences dysmenorrhea cannot concentrate on studying and learning motivation will decrease because of the dysmenorrhea that is felt in the teaching and learning process and sometimes there are those who ask permission to go home because they cannot stand the dysmenorrhea they feel

In the development of increasingly developed technology and the demands of the community's needs for infrastructure facilities, it also affects the development of a construction field. This is also no exception in the manufacture of mortar which is used as a non-structural material in buildings. In making mortar itself, it is also influenced by developing technological developments, one of the types affected is pozzolan mortar. Pozzolan mortar has added materials derived from nature or industrial waste. In Indonesia, waste from eggshells is increasing every year, because eggshells are one of the people's favorite food ingredients. The eggshells have contain calcium carbonate (CaCO3) compound which is an element than cement. The materials of making the mortar itself are water, cement, and sand.  This research aims to utilize egg shell waste as an added material in mortar with variations in the percentage of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% eggshell powder. From the results obtained, the addition of eggshell powder at maximum compressive strength lies at a percentage of 15% of 300 MPa.

Mortar is a mixture of materials composed of fine aggregate (sand), adhesives such as (clay, lime, portlaand cement) and water with a certain composition. Mortar can be affected by several specification factors such as density, mortar age, type of bonding material, and aggregate properties. In this study using coconut fiber ash as an added material in making mortar which has a function as an enhancer of compressive strength value in mortar. In coconut fiber ash, it has an important chemical compound for mortar, namely silica compounds which function as the main element to increase the compressive strength value of mortar. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of adding coconut fiber ash material on the compressive strength of mortar with a percentage of 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%. From the results of the research conducted, a compressive strength value of 253 Mpa was obtained at a percentage of 10% of 7 days old and 253 Mpa at a percentage of 2.5% of 7 days old.

Concrete is a material that is commonly used when doing construction work today. Because concrete has several advantages when compared to other materials, such as being easy to form, resistant to weather changes, has high compressive strength, and is durable. In this study the use of Silica Fume as an additive to flow concrete has the function of improving the quality of flowing concrete. Silica Fume has an important role in affecting the chemical and mechanical properties of concrete. Judging from its chemical properties, Silica Fume geometrically fills the voids between cement materials, and causes the pore diameter to decrease and the total pore volume to decrease. Meanwhile, from its mechanical properties, Silica Fume has a pozzolanic reaction (a material containing silica/silica dioxide and alumina compounds) which reacts to the limestone released by the cement. The aim of the research is to increase the maximum compressive strength of flowing concrete by using Silica Fume added with varying percentages of 0%, 5%, 6%, 7.5%, 9%, 10.5% and 12% and using a superplasticizer of 1.5 %. From the results of the research conducted, it was found that flowing concrete with added silica fume on concrete compressive strength was able to reach 7.5% at 7 days of age of 25.91 MPa and at 28 days of concrete age was obtained at 26.19 MPa.

Basically, the ingredients for forming concrete consist of cement, water, and aggregate, namely fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. The aggregates commonly used are natural aggregates, namely sand as fine aggregate and gravel or crushed stone as coarse aggregate. Sand as fine aggregate is obtained from mining processes in nature, especially in Indragiri Hulu district, sand mining occurs almost along the Indragiri river. Rock ash is generally dark in color (blackish gray), and consists of fairly coarse grains. When compared to sand, rock ash has a cheaper price. The method used in this study is the experimental method, namely research that aims to investigate causal relationships between one another and compare the results so as to make an innovation. The results of the tests that have been carried out by the author on variations in the addition of stone ash to the concrete mixture for fine aggregate with variations of 25%, 50% and 75%. The results of laboratory tests in this study found that the optimum percentage of rock ash as a substitute for sand was a variation of 50% rock ash with a compressive strength of 28 days of 19.60 Mpa. Rock ash on 50% test specimen can be used as a substitute for sand because in terms of compressive strength with the quality provisions K-225 meets the requirements with a value of 19.60 MPa.
