Lapindo mudflow issued a very large volume of mud. The mud flooded rice fields, residential and industrial area to date has not been stopped but the mud bursts untapped yet. Therefore, attempted use Lapindo mud very much it to be made tile. Sludge containing 55.4% silica oxide, alumina 16.1% and 8.9% iron with the composition of the possibility of mud can be created tile roof. Dried mud that has been mashed into the grain size of 80 mesh, then water added until plastic. Mud that has plastic printed with size 6 x 3 x 3 cm and then dried using ambient air. After the dried samples were burned using a furnace at temperatures varying from 500 to 900oC, after chilling the samples tested compressive strength, fracture modulus and water absorption. The results showed that the higher the combustion temperature obtained greater compressive strength and less water absorption. Most compressive strength is 142 kg/cm2and smallest water absorption is 0.06 g/cm2at a temperature of 900oC. At combustion temperatures of 500 to 700oC fracture modulus down from 72.78 to 41.81 kg/cm2 while at 700 to 900oC fracture modulus rose to 126.7 kg/cm2. The best results obtained on the combustion temperature at 800oC with fracture modulus 103.18 kg/cm2 and water absorption 0.08 g/cm2.   These results satisfy roof tile as type I according SII.0027 UDC-81. 666.74.

This research presents a comparative cost and strength analysis of rice husk concrete block which is aimed at reducing the cost of concrete production and emphasizing environmentally and friendly sustainable materials. Concrete block materials consist of cement, filler, and rice husk. Tests were performed to compare the strength and cost of seven cement rice husk weight ratios designated ranging from 0.67 to 2.00 with constant water cement ration of 0.4. Samples have been tested for 28-day strength. The analysis of the results has showed that the higher proportions of rice husk correspond to decreased strength dan cost polynomially. At 134% proportion of rice husk, it is optimum value for rice husk concrete block. In this point, the compressive strength satisfies the standard. Also, water absorption of 16,04% justifies the maximum standard. Overall, the cost of 134% RH concrete is Rp 511,809 per m3 which is 42.5% cheaper than normal concrete block.

Combining various kinds of fibre to achieve good response and strength from the concrete by using different experiments is shown in this research. Here PVA which is polyvinyl alcohol and HS hooked end steel fibres are used to gain more strength compared with normal concrete or single fibre concrete. Here first we take PVA specimens results by considering optimum dosage 0.15% result & HS fibre is taken as HFRC concrete by this the strength of the concrete can control the crack behavior occurred in specimens. Mechanical properties such as compressive strength test, flexure strength, and stress-strain behavior are studied. Combining different fibers HFRC is mainly useful for longstanding structures. This method can be easy to understand and economical.

One of the factors of economic growth is the development of infrastructure to encourage the creation of various activities. Concrete becomes an important part in the process of infrastructure development. For the concrete mixture, gravel is the most important part for concrete constituents. The limitation of gravel in nature led to the creation of various studies to replacement solutions for the use of gracel in concrete mixtures.Candlenut shell is one of the waste is not getting attention in its uses. Department of Plantation North Sumatera Province recorded the candlenut production in North Sumatera in 2019 reached 13,529.40 tons. The study aims for replace some of the gravel in the concrete mixture by using a candle nut shell. The variety of concrete mixture with candle nut is 10%, 20% and 30%. Testing was conducted on concrete ages 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days aimed at finding the difference between normal concrete compressive strength without additional candlenut shells and concrete with additional candlenut shells. The result shows that there was a decrease in the values of concrete compressive strength for each group of test objects. The decrease is due to the candlenut shell having higher and water absorption compared to gravel.

The use of the polypropylene fibre and glass fibre with different volume fractions to improve the mechanical properties of peach shell lightweight concrete was investigated in this study. The volume fractions of 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75% were used for each fibre. The results showed that, as the polypropylene fibre and glass fibre were added into peach shell concrete, the density was reduced by up to 6.1% and the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength were increased by 19.1%, 54.3%, and 38.6%, respectively. The highest compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength of 29.3 MPa, 2.87 MPa, and 3.09 MPa, respectively, were produced by peach shell concrete with 0.75% glass fibre. The results indicated that the incorporation of fibres significantly enhanced the postfailure toughness of peach shell concrete. It was found that the glass fibre was more effective than the polypropylene fibre in improving the mechanical properties of peach shell concrete. Although the incorporation of fibres slightly increased the water absorption and porosity, the type and content of fibres had no significant effect on water absorption and porosity. Therefore, the mechanical properties of peach shell lightweight concrete can be improved by adding polypropylene fibres and glass fibres.

Concrete incorporated with waste paper fibres (WPF) was studied to get the initial information of compressive strength before doing further action to solve a critical problem. Problems such as environmental problem, high production cost and concrete distress were solved to minimise the critical problem. The main objective of the preliminary study is to investigate the compressive strength of concrete with WPF at an appropriate percentage. Some review assessments from previous studies, either on industrial fibres or natural fibres with critics, were done to obtain information and upgrade knowledge. The compressive strength and water absorption result were reported for concrete without and with WPF in proportion of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.0% and 1.5%. From the observation and testing, the compressive strength of concrete with WPF was decreased with increase in fibre percentage in the concrete. Besides, the water absorption, which always influence the compressive strength, was increased when the percentage of fibres increased; thus, some recommendations and adjustments are proposed for the next feat to produce waste paper fibre concrete with better compressive strength and greater water absorption, and thus solve the environmental issues and enable waste material to support sustainable materials in construction and building.

This work reports on the incorporation of Flint and Kaolin rocks powders in the cement mortar in an attempt to improve its mechanical properties and produce an eco-friendly mortar. Flint and Kaolin powders are prepared by dry mechanical milling. The two powders are added separately to the mortars substituting cement partially. The two powders are found to improve the mechanical properties of the mortars. Hardness and compressive strength are found to increase with the increase of powders constituents in the cement mortars. In addition, the two powders affect water absorption and thermal conductivity of the mortar specimens which are desirable for construction applications. Kaolin is found to have a greater effect on the mechanical properties, water absorption, and thermal conductivity of the mortars than Flint. This behavior is discussed and analyzed based on the compositional and structural properties of the rocks powders.

The quantity of polymer waste in our communities is increasing significantly. It is therefore necessary to consider reuse or recycling waste to avoid an increase in the risk to public health. This project is aimed at using pulverized low-density polyethylene (LDPE) waste as a source to reinforce and improve compressive strength, and to reduce the water absorption of geopolymer ceramics (GC). Clay:LDPE composition consisting of 5%, 10%, and 15% LDPE was geopolymerized with an NaOH/Na2SiO3 solution and cured at 30 °C and 50 °C. Characterization of the geopolymer samples was carried out using XRF and XRD. The microstructure was analyzed by SEM and chemical bonding by FTIR. The SEM micrographs showed LDPE particle pull-out on the geopolymer ceramics’ fracture surface. The result showed that the compressive strength increases with the addition of pulverized polymer waste compared to the controlled without LDPE addition. Water absorption decreased with an increase in LDPE addition in the geopolymer ceramics composite.
