Wood sawdust and eggshells are very easy to get, wherein the eggshell contains CaCO3, it will be used as a filler in the manufacture of composite boards and polystyrene as a binder (matrix). By varying the ratio of sawdust and eggshell 0:50, 10:40, 20:30, 30:20, 40:10 and 50: 0 (gr), we expect to get a quality composite board. This research analyzes compressive strength, water absorption and density. In this research, the first thing to do is a treatment consisting of diminution, sifting. Then proceed with board making. For the strength of the composite board, a compressive test is performed. From the test it was found that the greatest compressive firmness is owned by the board with a filler ratio of 20:30 which is 94.564 kg / cm2, the highest water absorption value is obtained on the board with a filler ratio of 50: 0 that is 31.517% and the largest density value obtained on the board with a filler ratio of 20: 30 which is 1,231 gr / cm3.

Dimensional Variation

Moisture sorption of wood sawdust panel results in dimensional variation, deterioration of mechanical property and fungi attack, which may be improved by the reinforcement of waterproof material. In this study, the fir sawdust panel was reinforced by basalt glass particles with size smaller than 5 micron, in order to reduce moisture penetration. When the content of basalt glass powder was 15%, both the thickness swelling and 24 h water absorption rate of wood composites reached their minimum values, which were 2.7% and 11%, respectively. The thickness swelling was far smaller than the 45% upper limit of medium density fiberboard as described by standards GB/T17657-1999.

Redbrick is one of the building materials which is commonly used as a basic building material. In the traditional red brick factory in the village of Singgahan Tuban, East Java, some problems are often encountered in the field, namely red bricks that are cracked and broken on the bricks at the bottom of the pile. This has an impact on results that are not on target. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of wood sawdust and hydroton substitution on the compressive strength, density, and water absorption capacity of redbrick. Using an experimental method with a substitution ratio of wood sawdust and hydroton of 5%, 10%, and 15%. Manufacture of 50 red bricks measuring 23 x 11 x 4.5 cm. The drying process is carried out for 5 days then burned at 900° C for 2 days. From the test, it was found that the red brick without substitution had a compressive strength value of 8.95 MPa, a density value of 1.59 grams / cm³, and a water absorption capacity of 11.14%. The red brick substitution of wood sawdust waste has a compressive strength value of 6.25 MPa, a density value of 1.48 grams / cm³ and a water absorption capacity of 12.04%. In the red brick, the hydroton substitution has a compressive strength value of 9.27 MPa, a density value of 1.64 grams/cm air, and a water absorption capacity of 11.22%.

The use of composite materials as an alternative to metallic materials in the field of engineering more widespread, not only as an interior daneksterior in the automotive field but also extended to other areas such as property and architecture is to reduce the incidence of fire one only to find a replacement for wood as a raw material of houses and buildings with other alternative materials are more fire resistant, the material need not be limited in mechanical strength, but also on the physical properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the absorption properties of water and fire index in the fiber-reinforced composite board pandanus leaves thorns and wood sawdust filler sengon with polyester resin as matriknya.Analysis of the absorption properties of the water carried by the ASTM D 5529 with a variation of the length of time of immersion (10, 20, and 30 days) and the fiber volume fraction (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%). Testing index of the flame using ASTM E1321 with long burning time of 10 minutes. To test the effect of soaking time and a fiber volume fraction of the weight gain, volume, and density on the board fiber composite pandanus thorns with 10% filler wood sawdust sengon diguanakn Two Ways Analysis Of Variance, and the effect of fiber volume fraction to index Flash Fire is used One Ways Analysis Of Variance.The results showed that the water absorption is affected by fiber volume fraction and longer soaking time. The largest percentage of water absorption occurs in the volume fraction of 30% with long soaking time of 30 days is 24.41%. Similarly, the highest percentage swelling occurs in composite board with a volume fraction of 30% with a 30-day long soaking time is 11:22% .Then the flame to the percentage of the index without fiber composite board has a greater percentage is 167.03%. By contrast the percentage of board composite index gained shortest of composite board with a fiber volume fraction of 30% ie 70.25% composite board with a fiber volume fraction of 30% also have a flame index is lower than the comparison is with wood composites sengon.

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.

In this work it was evaluated the influence tire rubber addition in mortars in order to replace part of the sand (12% by volume). It was also intended to verify if the tire rubber treatment with NaOH saturated aqueous solution causes interference on the mechanical properties of the mixture. Compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, water absorption, modulus of elasticity, and flow test were made in specimens of 5cmx10cm and the tests were carried out to 7, 28, 56, 90, and 180 days. The results show reduction on mechanical properties values after addition of tire rubber and decrease of the workability. It was also observed that the tire rubber treatment does not cause any alteration on the results compared to the rubber without treatment.
