The paper covers the method of obtaining efficient structural heat-insulating and heat-insulating construction products based on sawdust and lime binder hardening in the medium of carbon dioxide. Building composites based on wood-cement compositions have several advantages compared to traditional concrete products, but at the same time there are several features such as incompatibility of cement binder with a certain type of wood due to the release of extractive substances by the wood and retardation of the binder which complicate the receiving technology. The use of a binder that was not affected by extractives, such as dolomite carbonate binder, greatly simplifies the production of finished products. Performed researches have shown the possibility of obtaining light building materials based on sawdust and lime binder of carbonate hardening. The process of obtaining samples in a specially designed mold takes 4-8 minutes; after that the samples achieve the required characteristics. The samples extracted from the mold do not require additional exposure and have specified geometrical and physico-mechanical parameters.

Sharing of the risk and liability is one of the most important functions of construction contracts. Proper sharing of the risks and liability between the parties of construction contract has a rather big influence on efficiency, quality, and probability of arising disputes between the parties of construction contract in construction projects. A lot of risk exists during the fulfillment of construction projects. One of those risks is the risk of defects of building products. The question of the liability of the parties of construction contract for inappropriate quality of the construction production caused by a bad quality of building products mainly depends on sharing of the risk of defects of building materials in the construction contract. Some aspects of the mentioned risk and liability of the parties of the construction contract might be set by mutual agreement in the construction contract. The other aspects are regulated by imperative norms of the law and the parties of construction contract have not a right to change those imperative conditions of sharing of risks and liability. The article deals with sharing of risk and liability for supplying building products of an improper quality for construction, taking in to account conditions of construction contract, legal regulation and behavior of parties of a construction contract. A tree of forming the alternatives of liability is presented in the article. Liability for supply of defected building products arises not only for parties of a construction contract. The producer (supplier) of building products is responsible for this as well. Variations of liability of the producer (supplier) depending on construction contract conditions are analyzed. A matrix of liability of the producer (supplier) of building products is presented in the article.

Neutron radiography (NR) technique has been adopted to study homogeneity and water absorption behavior of building materials, like double layer silver gray tiles obtained from Concord Real Estate & Building Products, Unit II, Salna, Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Measurements of optical density differences between the film background and radiographic images of the dry/wet samples were used for investigation of the present work. The optical density was measured by using the digital optical densitometer (Model 07-424, S-23285, Victoreen Inc. USA). Large variation in optical density values of the radiographic image was observed. From this observation it shows that the rate of water absorption of the tiles increases with increase of immersion time. Through the investigation of radiographic image and subsequently analyzing the optical density we observed that distribution of the elements in the tiles are inhomogeneous.

The Impact

Increased public awareness of the threats posed by global warming has led to greater concern over the impact of anthropogenic carbon emissions on the global climate associated with the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Hence, without radical market, technological, and cultural changes, the CO2 concentrations are expected to rise to unbearable levels within just few decades ahead. The production of cement is estimated to be responsible for approximately 5% of the global carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, aiming for creating a more sustainable world, engineers and scientists must develop and put into use greener building materials that may revolutionize the entire construction industry. This study presents an innovative product for settlement of ceramic tiles as a potential alternative for replacing the conventional cement based mortar in some specific building applications. Essentially, the novel system is based on a double face polymer-adhesive sheet (“cement-free product”). Thus, the main goal was to evaluate the performance and estimate the durability of the developed system. Pull-off tests were conducted in order to compare this new system to the traditional one, with polymer modified mortar, under different procedures and conditions of cure. In addition, both systems were modeled using Finite Element Method (FEM) to obtain the stresses at the interface between ceramic-tile and adhesive. Based on the results, the recommended limits of bond strength for the innovative “cement-free product” of ceramic tile installation could be lower than those specifications used for the equivalent mortar systems. Therefore, these results give some preliminary evidence that by using the new “cement-free” product for ceramic-tile installation may lead to some increase in the productivity and, more important, in the sustainability of a relevant sector of the construction industry.

The effectiveness of the use of the synthesizable aluminosilicates in cement composites as the modifying additive, regulating the structurization and increasing the operational properties of cement systems is investigated. Nature of change of the index рН of a liquid phase of cement systems with the use of the synthesized aluminosilicates is studied. The information about a thermal emission kinetics at hardening cement composites are provided. One of the priorities of the modern building materials science is the development of efficient building materials with the high operational properties. The solution of this problem base on purposeful formation of the material structure as heterogeneous, multiphase system of the complex hierarchy. One of the directions of properties management of this system is the modification of their structure by nanosized particles [1, 2, 3].

Abstract Several endemic species of Sulawesi have different growths and are generally influenced by local environmental factors. There are three well-known endemic species of Sulawesi, namely Macadamia (Macadamia hildebrandii), Elmerillia (Elmerillia ovalis), and Gophasa (Vitex cofassus). These three species are widely developed in community forests and are the mainstay of the community as building materials and for other purposes. These three species can be used as good absorbers of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the context of mitigating climate change. Macadamia and Elmerillia species grow well in the highlands, while Gophasa is generally found in the lowlands. From the results of the growth analysis, it is known that Macadamia and Elmerillia are medium growing species, while gophasa are slow-growing species. The results showed that the three endemic species have a good ability to absorb carbon from the air. At the age of 20 years, these three species can store carbon which is quite high, namely 132.38 tons/ha for Macadamia, 152.04 tons/ha for Elmerillia, and 82.65 tons/ha for gophasa. When converted to the ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, the three species can absorb 485.85 tons CO2/ha, 557.99 tons CO2/ha, and 303.33 tons CO2/ha, respectively.

The production activity of mankind using high-ash fossil fuels for electricity generation is steadily increasing ash waste and carbon dioxide emissions into the environment. The article proposes a variant of wasteless combustion of Ekibastuz coal in a melting reactor installed under the boiler; it is envisaged to obtain, in addition to steam of energy parameters, a melt suitable for the production of building materials, sublimates of zinc, gallium and germanium, to reduce emissions of "CO2" into the atmosphere and return to the process a part of carbon in "CO2". An energy-saving thermal diagram of a power plant boiler has been developed on the basis of the proposed technology for the reduction of "СО2, Н2О" of reactor waste gases with zinc vapor to "СО, Н2". The resulting excessive hydrogen will be used to displace elemental carbon from "CO". The spent reagent, zinc oxide, after recovering into zinc will be used again in the process. In case of implementation, CO2 emissions into the atmosphere will be cut up to 50%, the expected payback period of the proposed system will be 1.0 - 1.5 years.

This study aims to determine the green concept of a slum “kampong” with the green concept and carbon footprint approach based on daily activities, building materials and fuel consumption as well as to deliver the concept of renewable energy. The carbon footprint is the measure of total amount of carbon dioxide gas emissions directly or indirectly caused by daily main activities and accumulation of products used daily. It is the case study of Kampong Gampingan-Pakuncen, Yogyakarta. This kampong is known as a densely populated kampong located in the city centre not far from Malioboro, the centre of commercial and business districts in Yogyakarta City. The employed methods were the quantitative-comparative method between carbon footprint of existing and planning condition and the quantitative approach of renewable energy. The results showed that the carbon dioxide concentration of Kampong Pakuncen in the existing condition is 1,712.767 tonnes CO2/month while the total amount of carbon dioxide concentration of the design is 1,293.785 tonnes CO2/month, hence 24.462% carbon dioxide concentration reduction. To save energy consumption in daily activities, it is proposed that water wheel as micro-hydro power should be used for electricity.

Reducing Energy

One of the solutions for reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in the construction sector is the use of building materials which have a favorable environmental impact. This is possible to achieve by using plant material, e.g., industrial hemp, which absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide during the growth. Instead of cement as a binder there are used alternatively clay or lime modified with industrial waste in the form of pozzolans. The paper presents the possibility of using industrial hemp in the production of composite based on modified hydrated lime. It describes the basic properties of the sample composites such as compressive strength and thermal conductivity based on literature review. The article describes the way of preparing the mixture and the possibility of using the composite for the construction of walls using different techniques.
