Lightweight concrete can be defined as a type of concrete that includes an expanding agent in that it increases the volume of the mixture while giving additional qualities such as nailability and lessened the dead weight. The nutmeg shell has the characteristics of light and hard skin texture so that it has the potential to be used as a material for lightweight concrete. The purpose of this study is to determine the aggregate characteristic value and the compressive strength value of concrete using the DOE (design of experiment) method and referring to standards SNI. Variation of use nugmet shell toward the weight volume of concrete is 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. This research is sample-based laboratory research and analysis of aggregate characteristics and concrete compression test. The research result shows that the use of nutmeg skin as a coarse aggregate material in the concrete mixture affects the volume weight of the concrete. The weight of the concrete gets lighter along with the higher the percentage used. The average volume weight obtained was 1810.06 kg/m. Based on the weight of the concrete sample, it is classified as a light structure, includes concrete with low density and includes lightweight aggregate concrete. The compressive strength values for the characteristics of concrete at a composition of 10%, 20%, and 30% were obtained at 28.42 kg/cm, 31.65 kg/cm and 32.68 kg/cm which increased while the use of nutmeg shells at 40% and 50% compositions were obtained. values of 29.09 kg/cm and 27.38 kg/cm decreased at the age of 28 days. The increase in the value of the compressive strength of concrete (fck') occurred starting at the composition of 20% and 30% at 10.20% and 13.03% and begin to decrease at the composition of 50% by 3.65%. Lightweight concrete from nutmeg shells has a weight of 1810.06 kg/m and a maximum compressive strength value of 3.2 MPa so that the concrete is in the category of lightweight structure.
