Analysis of the effects of adding pyroclastic rock to red mud for the production of a baked building material in terms of its resistance to frost actions

A light porous unsintered building material was prepared with red mud, fly ash, silica fume as the main raw materials, mixed with a certain amount of foam and curing agent, by the technology of casting and curing at ambient conditions. The influence of different ratio of red mud to fly ash on compressive strength was studied. The microstructure properties of light porous unsintered building material were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and then the strength mechanism was studied. The results showed that the optimum ratio of red mud to fly ash was 2:1, and for the best sample, its bulk density was 891kg•m-3, 7d and 28d compressive strength were 8.4MPa and 14.7MPa, thermal conductivity coefficient was 0.235W•(m•K)-1, which may have a broad application prospect in the building materials field.

Payment in the Malaysian construction industry has generally been an issue of concern. Late and non-payment problem is endemic in construction and needs to be addressed. The aim of this study is to investigate the issues related to late and non-payment based on the building materials suppliers’ perspective. Questionnaires were distributed to suppliers of building materials in the Klang Valley. Findings from the study shows the main cause of late and non-payment is the paymaster’s poor financial management while the main effect of late and non-payment is problem with the cash flow. The most recommended possible solution to cope with the issue is for the paymaster to conduct training on financial and cash flow management to the management team in the company.
