Abstract

This study discusses mechanical properties and analysis of composite materials to develop building bricks for structural lightweight concrete replacement applications made from three different waste materials, i.e. sawdust, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottle, and used diaper. All waste materials are used to mixture composite, as cement replacement, with a mixture of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 percent of the total weight. This study uses a quantitative method with the sample used as cylindrical tube with 20 mm of diameter and 40 mm of height. Tests were carried out in the form of compressive and specific gravity tests to determine the mechanical and physical properties of the composite material. The use of waste materials as mixtures for composite manufacture with a water per cement ratio of 0.4 at the age of 28 days results in the best compressive strength of 20.70 MPa (5 percent of sawdust), 33.04 MPa (5 percent of PET), and 18.05 MPa (5 percent of used diaper). The density value shows that the addition of waste materials tends to decrease the weight of the composite result. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the use of waste composite materials is a potential replacement for lightweight structural concrete as an effort to reduce the cement requirement for building material applications.DOI: 10.17977/um024v7i22022p092

Abstract

This research utilizes dreg and grits wastes from pulp industry by addition of kaolin as raw material in producing ceramics that have good physical and mechanical properties. Dreg and grits were prepared by drying in an oven at 120°C for 5 hours, then crushed and sieved using a 200 mesh sieve, then characterized by means of Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). Ceramic samples were printed using Compressive Gauge Testing with a strength of 15 kN for 60 seconds. The kaolin percentage was varied between 20-80% followed by drying for 48 hours at room temperature. The ceramic samples were burned in a stepwise furnace temperature of up to 1000°C with a holding time of 30 minutes. Their physical properties, i.e. density, porosity, fuel loss, and water absorption, were characterized, and their compressive strength was investigated. The ICP test showed that the highest chemical content in the dreg and grit is CaO, at 36% and 50%. The optimum dose of ceramics produced in this study is the composition of 80% kaolin. The percentage of kaolin mixture is directly proportional to the compressive strength, density and fuel shrinkage, while the porosity and water absorption are inversely proportional. The ceramic characterization was obtained with compressive strength ranging from 4.48 MPa to 11.98 MPa.
