ABSTRACT
This experiment uses the Gauss-Jordan method with the aim of determining the amount
of material needed by an engineer to complete a building project if three data holes are known
where the materials can be obtained through a linear equation. The step taken by entering the
function of Gauss-Jordan elimination in Matlab then use the ‘For’ command this command will
be looping following its given conditions. Problems on this experiment is given a tabulation of pit
and its percentage of sand, fine gravel and coarse gravel composition. From the computational
results performed on Matlab, found that each hole needed to be transported 40.0581 m3 of sand,
71.3140 m3 of fine gravel, and 51.6279 m3 of coarse gravel.

Keywords : Elimination, Gauss-Jordan, Matrix, Method.

4. RESULT AND ANALYSIS


On matrix A are presented the total of pit
1, pit 2 and pit 3. While the elements of
matrix B are presented the volume of
materials that is needed. After that we
combined matrix A and B as we called it
matrix C which it is their augmented. The
dimension of matrix C is described by m as
the row and n as the column. Inside the for
command of pivoting, we input other for
command to convert the elements below the
major diagonal to zeros. Then, input another
for command to convert the elements above
the major diagonal to zeros.
