This work was to investigate the mechanical and physical properties of light weight block with addition of banana fiber. The formulation series of concrete block were divided into two groups: banana fiber for replacing cement and sand, respectively. Banana fibers were varied from 0.0 to 7.5 %wt. and were evaluated by compressive testing, density and water absorption and changing length at water immersion of 28 days. Optimum formulation of concrete adding banana fiber is ratio of sand: cement: lime: gypsum: aluminum powder: banana fibers: 50: 27.5: 9: 9: 2: 2.5, respectively. The increase of water absorption and changing length were found with increase of fiber content whereas the density decreased. However, the mechanical and physical properties of banana fiber/concrete block were subject to standard according to Thai Industrial Standard 1505-2541. From this study, it indicates that banana fiber can be used as an alternative precursor material for producing the light weight and cost effectiveness block.

Timber Acacia mangium (Acacia mangium, Willd) for Furniture. The study aims to determine the mechanical and physical properties and the decorative value (color and fiber) wood of acacia mangium with using finishing materials. This type of finishing material used is ultran lasur natural dof ,ultran lasur classic teak, aqua politur clear dof, aqua politur akasia dan aqua politur cherry. After finishing the wood is stored for 3 months. Test parameters were observed, namely, physical and mechanical properties of wood, adhesion of finishing materials, color and appearance of the fiber, and timber dimensions expansion. The results showed that the mechanical physical properties of acacia wood qualified SNI. 01-0608-89 about the physical and mechanical properties of wood for furniture, air dry the moisture content from 13.78 to 14.89%, flexural strength from 509.25 to 680.50 kg/cm2, and compressive strength parallel to fiber 342.1 - 412.9 kg/cm2. Finishing the treatment process using five types of finishing materials can increase the decorative value (color and fiber) wood. Before finishing the process of acacia mangium wood has the appearance of colors and fibers and less attractive (scale scores 2-3), after finishing acacia wood fibers have the appearance of colors and interesting and very interesting (scale 4-5).Keywords: mangium wood, mechanical properties, decorative value, finishing, furniture.
