Title: Structural Performance of Interlocking Compressed Earth Block with Ijuk (Arenga pinnata) Fiber as StabiliserModular block building materials have been well-known in the design and construction of built-environment. In its simplest form, the modular block is known as brick, red brick, lime brick, conblock, etc. The modularity of its unit lends itself for easy of production, application and transport. The drawbacks, however, are the generallyrelated to high energy consumption and pollution level in the production process (brick burning, high temp heating of cement and lime). In the perspective of sustainable and environmentally friendly built environment, the drawbacks need to be addressed in order to minimize its carbon footprint in human habitation. The challenge is how to obtain modular blocks with low energy consumption, while achieving stability and structural performance up to the standard. In this research, the earthen block test units were conducted without burning or use of cement and lime. Ijuk fibre (Arenga pinnata) was chosen as replacement of cement and lime was choses as stabilizer in producing modular blocks. The main test units and their comparisons underwent a compression test in the compressive testing machine to evaluate the structural performance. The comparison test blocks were blocks with similar form, dimension and production method, while the diffrentiating factor was the mixture. The standards SNI 15-2094-2000 (Indonesia) and IS 1077 : 1992 (India) were used as reference to compressive strength of common fired brick.

Modular block building materials have been well-known in the design and construction of built-environment.

Two of the primary waste components of the Phosphates benefaction process, sand and clay have been used as building materials for thousands of years. A process known as rammed earth has been used extensively around the world in buildings that have lasted for centuries. Because earth is the main ingredient in rammed earth it has recently enjoyed new popularity as a so called “green” building material. In a similar process earth is compressed into blocks which are then used in the same way as conventional masonry units to build walls. In the compressed earth block [CEB] method, individual units can be manufactured and stockpiled for later use rather than being fabricated on site as in the rammed earth process. This research project will investigate the potential use of waste clay and tailing sand from the phosphate benefaction process as the primary ingredients in compressed earth blocks for commercial and residential construction projects.

Due to the increase in demand for building materials and their high prices in most developing countries, many researchers are trying to recycle waste for use as secondary raw materials. The aim of this study is the optimization of a mixture of compressed earth blocks based on two sediments. These sediments were tested through the Vicat test to determine the proportion of each one and the optimal water content. The mixtures were treated by adding 10% of blast furnace slag and different proportions of dissolved glass in a NaOH solution. The results indicated that the mixture of 70% Oran sediments with 30% Sidi Lakhdar sediments treated with 4% glass waste produced a CEB (compressed earth block) with high compressive strength with low porosity. In addition, formulated CEBs have a very good resistance to water immersion.

Bahan bangunan berbentuk blok modular sudah cukup dikenal di dunia rancang bangun lingkungan binaan di Indonesia. Dalam bentuknya yang paling sederhana, blok modular ini dikenal dengan nama bata, bata merah, batako, conblock, atau lainnya. Unitnya yang modular memberi kemudahan dalam pembuatan, aplikasi dan transportasinya. Kekurangannya, blok ini umumnya dibuat melalui proses yang boros energi dan polutif (pembakaran bata, pemanasan semen dan kapur di tanur / kiln). Dalam perspektif lingkungan binaan yang berkelanjutan dan ramah lingkungan, kekurangan ini perlu diperbaiki agar jejak karbon habitasi manusia dapat ditekan. Tantangannya adalah mendapatkan blok modular yang hemat energi, tetapi dapat mencapai stabilitas dan performa struktural yang sesuai standard. Dalam penelitian ini, benda uji berbahan tanah dibuat dengan tanpa melalui proses pembakaran atau pemakaian semen dan kapur.  Serat ijuk digunakan sebagai pengganti semen dan kapur yang selama ini dikenal sebagai stabilisator pilihan dalam pembuatan blok modular. Untuk melihat kinerja strukturalnya, benda uji utama dan pembandingnya diuji pada mesin uji tekan (compressive testing machine). Pengujian dilakukan dengan menggunakan benda uji pembanding berupa blok modular dengan bentuk, dimensi dan cara pembuatan yang serupa, dengan perbedaan pada komposisi bahannya. Sebagai rujukan, digunakan SNI 15-2094-2000 (Indonesia) dan IS 1077 : 1992 (India) tentang klasifikasi kuat tekan bata merah bakar.

Abstract: In the context of the global response to climate change, the construction industry with high energy consumption and high greenhouse gas emission is getting more and more attention. This paper reviews the background of low-carbon building, and studies the characteristics and trends of the low-carbon building and technological development in Japan. It analyses the low-carbon concept which applies to the building’s whole life cycle from low-carbon design concept, building constructions, building materials applications, the use of new energy resources, to the control of energy consumption and carbon emissions in Japan. Finally, considering the characteristics of the new deal about low-carbon building in Japan, this paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions about governments and markets, industry standards, energy-saving and emission reduction, incentive and restraint mechanisms, etc. This article argues that the active behavior of government department is major factor to promote Japan’s Low-carbon building development .It expected to sum up the experience of the summarize trough Japan's the low carbon building for our government department to formulate policies and measure targeted in the low carbon architecture field.

Over the years, the Federal and State Governments of Nigeria mounted ‘low-cost’ housing schemes that were expected to be affordable to the low income earners. By the time some of these schemes were completed they were priced beyond the reach of the low-income earners, and even that of the middle-income earners. Various research works that looked into the failure of the provision of the ‘low-cost’ housings in Nigeria found out that the reason for the failure are political interference and corruption. This paper overviewed the various building materials used in building construction and concluded that the objectives of providing housing affordable ‘low cost’ housing schemes in Nigeria can be achieved if local building materials such as Stabilized Compressed Earth Block (SCEB) is used in the construction. The paper concludes that if professionals in the building sector are given the free will to do their jobs, it will also enhance the objective of providing affordable ‘low cost’ houses.

Abstract The value of the construction industry for green growth of the Russian economy is identified. The structure of the building materials industry, indicators of production volumes, share of exports and imports of construction materials are analysed. The main factors of high energy consumption in the construction industry are formed as a table. Main activities to modernise the building materials industry and “green” growth of the Russian economy as a whole are proposed. The urgency of formation of the mechanism of energysaving innovation application in the construction industry is justified. The methodology of management of the building materials industry development through the introduction of energy-saving innovations is proposed.
