<em>The most widely used material as a house wall is red brick, which is relatively cheap and safe to weather compared to other materials. Red bricks are usually in the manufacturing process by traditional means and fabrication. In general red bricks require additional materials of rice husk in the process of making. Much of the "starchy" waste material widely found in Klaten that is not currently utilized, is expected to be used instead of rice husk which is one of the red brick material mixtures.This research will be conducted brick test with mechanical behavior test which includes density test, water absorption test and compressive strength test with red brick made from rice husk mixture as comparison with analysis result of mixture of starch onggok waste. The result of this research is compressive strength of brick with mixture of rice husk larger and has a small water absorption compared with compressive strength of brick with mixture of onggok.</em>

Test Result

The consumption of plastic has grown substantially all over the world in recent years and this has created huge quantities of plastic-based waste. Plastic waste is now a serious environmental threat to the modern way of living, although steps were taken to reduce its consumption. This creates substantial garbage every day, which is much unhealthy. Plastic bottles such as Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was use as the partially component in this making of interlocking blocks concrete. This project investigates the strength and workability of the interlocking block concrete by replacing course aggregate with % PET. The suitability of recycled plastics (PET) as course aggregate in interlocking block concrete and its advantages are discussed here. Moreover, there were more benefits when using interlocking block than using conventional block such as it easy for construction because they are aligning, easy to place, high speed stacking and they offer more resistance to shear and buildings would be even stronger. Based on the test perform, the failure parameter were discussed .From the compressive strength test result, it shows that the strength of concrete block decreased with increased of PET used. From the results, it shows that higher compressive strength was found with 5% natural course aggregate replaced with PET compared to other percentages.

Abstract This study considers the utilization of bitumen modified with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles waste as an alternative binder in paving blocks. The optimum bitumen content of asphalt concrete was modified with 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% of PET waste. The compressive strength test, skid resistance, water absorption, and abrasion test were conducted on the paving block samples. Compressive strength test was conducted to verify the samples' compressive strength performance while water absorption and abrasion test were used to ascertain the durability properties of the samples. Results obtained for PET-modified bitumen concrete paving blocks (PMBCB) show an increase in compressive strength, skid resistance, and a decrease in the water absorption and abrasion loss when compared to unmodified bitumen samples. The maximum compressive strength for the PET-modified bitumen concrete was recorded at 10% PET replacement level. This implies that the utilization of PET-modified bitumen as binders in concrete paving blocks will not only help in waste recycling but also contribute significantly to the protection and preservation of the environment.

Shape Characteristics

Aggregates constitute more than 90% of concrete and significantly determine the strength of concrete. In this study, the shape characteristics such as flakiness and elongation were determined using elongation and thickness gauge. The aggregate used for the study is granite. Aggregate crushing value and aggregate impact value tests were performed on the aggregate while slump test, water absorption test, compressive strength test and flexural strength test were carried out on concrete. A total of one hundred and thirty-two concrete cubes were produced using 1:2:4 and 1:3:6 mix each for the compressive strength test and forty-eight reinforced concrete beams were produced for flexural strength test. The slump for all the samples tested was examined to be true. The compressive strength of the concrete cube was greatly affected by the shape of aggregate used and it was noted that; for lower percentage of flaky and elongated aggregate the compressive strength is moderately high compared to when the percentage is high. The highest obtained compressive strength, 15N/mm2 is in compliance with the concrete compressive strength of normal 1:2:4 mix as stipulated in ASTM C109, Also, with 30% of elongated aggregate and 30% of flaky, the flexural strength of 7.03 N/mm2 was obtained. This shows that aggregate shape is a very important property of coarse aggregate that must be put into consideration in production of quality concrete for construction works.

This paper presents the findings of a research work conducted on how to improve the mechanical properties of concrete using Date Palm Seed Ash (DPSA) as partial replacement of cement. The DPSA used was obtained by controlled burning of date palm seed in a kiln at a maximum temperature of 630oC for eight hours and air cooled afterwards. The ash obtained was sieved through 75μm sieve and its oxide composition analysed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) procedures. DoE method of mix design was used to produce concrete ingredients for grade 30N/mm2 giving a water-cement ratio of 0.53. The effect of partial replacement of cement with DPSA on cement paste and concrete using 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15 and 20% DPSA was investigated through consistency and setting times tests, workability test, compressive strength test (at 7, 21, 28 and 56 days curing duration), pozzolanic activity index evaluation and water absorption test. Results show that DPSA has high silicon dioxide (45.50%), aluminum oxide (20.75%) and Iron oxide (7.25%). Findings indicate that the consistency and setting times of cement-DPSA paste increased with increase in the replacement of cement with DPSA. The workability of DPSA concrete decreased with increase in cement replacement. Compressive strength test results show that cement can be replaced with DPSA up to 10% as the compressive strength at 10% replacement is 31.5N/mm2 as against the 31N/mm2 of the normal concrete, at 56 days. The pozzolanic activity index result also show that DPSA concrete meets up the minimum requirement of 75% specified by ASTM C618-15. Also, the water absorption capacity of DPSA concrete at the highest replacement (20%) is 11% less than that at 0%.

Infrastructure development is increasing every year making the need for concrete materials increases. Using alternative materials can reduce the scarcity of material and environmental damage caused by taking and dredging the material. This research is to find out how much influence the recycled material has on the compressive strength of no fines concrete. The variations used are recycled materials of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Mechanical testing conducted is a compressive strength test to determine the compressive strength of no fines concrete at the age of 7, 14 and 28 days. The ratio of cement and aggregate used is 1: 4 with FAS 0.5. This research uses 15 x 30 cm cylindrical molds with 45 test specimens. The test results show the highest compressive strength value of non-sand concrete occurs at 0% recycled material by 10.47 Mpa and the lowest compressive strength on non-sand concrete 100% recycled material is 8.39 Mpa. The percentage of absorption of no fines concrete shows that the more recycled material is used, the smaller the value of water absorption. The highest absorption value in no fines concrete is 0% recycled material, which is 5.93% and the smallest value is in the variation of no fines concrete 100% recycled material recycled material that is equal to 4.99%.
