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.

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%.

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.

Pull Out

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.

This article raised the issue of studies on the use of new bio-polyol based on white mustard seed oil and 2,2’-thiodiethanol (3-thiapentane-1,5-diol) for the synthesis of rigid polyurethane/polyisocyanurate (RPU/PIR) foams. For this purpose, new formulations of polyurethane materials were prepared. Formulations contained bio-polyol content from 0 to 0.4 chemical equivalents of hydroxyl groups. An industrial flame retardant, tri(2-chloro-1-methylethyl) phosphate (Antiblaze TCMP), was added to half of the formulations. Basic foaming process parameters and functional properties, such as apparent density, compressive strength, brittleness, absorbability and water absorption, aging resistance, thermal conductivity coefficient λ, structure of materials, and flammability were examined. The susceptibility of the foams to biodegradation in soil was also examined. The increase in the bio-polyol content caused a slight increase in processing times. Also, it was noted that the use of bio-polyol had a positive effect on the functional properties of obtained RPU/PIR foams. Foams modified by bio-polyol based on mustard seed oil showed lower apparent density, brittleness, compressive strength, and absorbability and water absorption, as well as thermal conductivity, compared to the reference (unmodified) foams. Furthermore, the obtained materials were more resistant to aging and more susceptible to biodegradation.

This present study investigated the crushed ceramic waste utilisation as sand replacement in solid mortar bricks. The percentage of crushed ceramic waste used were 0% (CW0), 10% (CW10), 20% (CW20) and 30% (CW30) from the total weight of sand. The dimension prescribed of mortar bricks are 215 mm x 102.5 mm x 65 mm as followed accordance to MS 2281:2010 and BS EN 771-1:2011+A1:2015. Four (4) tests were conducted on mortar bricks namely crushing strength, water absorption, compressive strength of masonry units and thermal comfort. The incorporation of ceramic waste in all designated mortar bricks showed the increment of crushing strength between 23% and 46% at 28 days of curing and decrement water absorption between 34% and 44% was recorded corresponding to control mortar bricks. The prism test of masonry units consists of mortar bricks containing ceramic waste indicated the high increment of compressive strength at about 200% as compared to mortar brick without ceramic waste. The thermal comfort test of ceramic mortar bricks were also showed the good insulation with low interior temperature. Therefore, the ceramic waste can be utilised as a material replacement to fine aggregate in mortar brick productions due to significant outcomes performed.
