Incineration of scheduled waste and landfilling of the incineration residue (Bottom Slag) is extensively practised in Malaysia as a treatment method for scheduled waste. Land site disposal of Bottom Slag (BS) may lead to environmental health issues and reduces the availability of land to sustain the nations development. This research aims in producing Glass Composite Material (GCM) incorporating BS and Soda Lime Silicate (SLS) waste glass as an alternative method for land site disposal method and as an effort for recycling SLS waste glass .SLS waste glass originates from the urban waste and has been a waste stream in most of the nation whereby the necessity for recycling is in high priority.The effect of BS waste loading on the GCM is studied.Batches of powder mixture is formulated with 30 wt% to 70 wt % of BS powder and SLS waste glass powder for GCM sintering.The powder mixtures of BS and SLS waste glass is compacted by uniaxial pressing method and sintered at 800C with heating rate of 2C/min and 1 hour soaking time. Physical analysis of bulk density, apparent porosity, and water absorption is perfomed according to ASTM C-373 standard. Mechanical testing of microhardness vickers according to ASTM C1327 and Modulus of Rupture (MOR) according to ISO 10545-4 is conducted. Microstructural analysis is carried out using Scanning Electron Microscope and phase analysis by X-ray diffraction method.Phases identified are Anorthite sodian,Quartz,Hematite and Diopside from X-ray diffraction analysis. Higher BS waste loading shows weak physical and mechanical properties .GCM from batch formulation of 30 wt % BS and 70 wt% SLS waste glass has projected optimized physical and mechanical properties. It is observed this batch has projected lowest water absorption percentage of 1.17 % , lowest porosity percentage of 2.2 %, highest bulk density of 1.88 g/cm3and highest MOR of 70.57 Mpa and 5.6 GPa for Vickers Microhardness.

Properties of the low-calcium alkali-activated materials (AAMs) made from the metakaolin, waste glass and sand were tested in this research. Specimens with dimensions 40x40x160mm were prepared. The correlation between development of microstructure and concentration of NaOH solution used for preparing of the AAMs was observed. Structure investigation with SEM and FTIR was performed to describe the formation of microstructure in low-calcium AAMs. The research results aimed that the improvement of physical and mechanical properties of the AAMs with increasing the activator’s concentration from 2 to 10 mol/kg H2O were in concordance with the structure development of AAM. The 28 days old AAMs with a compressive strength up to 31MPa and water absorption lower than 2% were obtained by using activator with concentration 10 mol/kg H2O.

The fly ash, produced by power plant in Republic of Macedonia have been milled and sintered with addition of waste glass to obtain glass-ceramics. The physical, chemical and mechanical properties of fly ash and waste glass were determined. Through adequate sintering time and temperature, the glass-ceramic materials were manufactured. Chemical, physical and mechanical properties of the obtained composites were defined. The optimal composition of the composite was fly ash with the addition of 40% waste glass. Optimal sintering condition was 1000oC with 1h isothermal time at final temperature and heating rate of 10o/min. The addition of 40%wt of waste glass in the fly ashes increased the E-modulus from 4.24±1 to 30.55±2 GPa and increased the bending strength from 9.93±1 to 63.18±4 MPa Porosity of the compacts decreased from 44.34±3 to 14.32±2%. Investigation of durability of the produced systems did not show presence of any harmful elements in the obtained solution. Owning to combination of the macroscopic appearance, microstructure, mechanical and thermal properties developed, dense materials could be used in the civil engineering.

This paper presents test results of the physical and mechanical properties of geopolymers based on conventional fly ash activated at increased temperature with sodium hydroxide, containing glass powder obtained from the recycling of waste glass. Tests were performed on mortars of a geopolymer binder containing glass powder of various levels of fineness, at quantities ranging from 5 to 95% of the mass of the conventional fly ash. The properties of the geopolymer binder with and without the content of glass powder were determined on the basis of the heat of hydration. The suitability of the application of glass powder in geopolymers was confirmed by results of testing the following parameters using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and analysis of micro areas (EDS) in geopolymer materials: particle size distribution, density, porosity, X-ray diffraction (XRD). Testing of the compressive strength of the geopolymer mortars was performed after: 1, 7, 14 and 28 days of curing in air-dry conditions. Results of microstructure tests confirm that the glass powder coming from recycled waste glass in presence of the geopolymer binder undergoes reactions of alkaline activation at increased temperature, the products of which are zeolite minerals and sodium silicate gel. On the basis of test results of physical and mechanical properties of the geopolymers, it was proven that the content of glass powder had a beneficial effect on the utility parameters of the obtained material. The aforementioned research confirms the possibility of using waste glass for the production of geopolymer materials applied in the construction industry.

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.

An investigation on the properties of Tenun Pahang fabric performances using alternative yarns was conducted. The studies were made in order to evaluate whether the Tenun Pahang fabric could be produced economically and at the same time maintain the fabric quality. Traditional Tenun Pahang fabric uses silk for both warp and weft. For this project, two alternative yarns were used which were bamboo and modal, which were a little lower in cost compared to silk. These yarns were woven with two variations, one with the yarns as weft only while maintaining the silk warp and the other with both warp and weft using the alternative yarns. Four (4) physical testings and three (3) mechanical testings conducted on the fabric samples. The fabric samples were evaluated including weight, thickness, thread density, crease recovery angle, stiffness and drapability. The results show that modal/silk and bamboo silk fabrics are comparable in terms of stiffness and drapability, hence they have the potential to replace 100% silk Tenun Pahang.
