Abstract

Sand brick are mostly type of bricks that used in construction industry compared to clay brick because materials are used in sand brick are easy to get and quite cheap but not have environmental friendly value. The issue on the environment preservation and sustainability has lead into a new finding on the new materials that had been generated by product from the industrial sector. So, to produce sand brick that have environmental friendly value, fine saw wood chips are used as a partial sand replacement because it can reduce wood waste that are given effect to environment like air pollution and can also reduce waste sent to landfill. This research presents 100 pieces of sand brick that made from saw wood chips, river sand and cement. Saw wood chips is a main material that are used to produce this sand brick. This sand brick will be cured in two method of curing that are air curing and water curing. Experiments then have been conducted by replacing 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of raw saw wood chips with river sand in this sand brick. The method used is to find of trial and error with 1:3 ratio of cement to sand of the water cement ratio. Then, the ready sand brick will be cured by air and water for 7 and 28 days depends on the test that will be conducted on the sand brick. The saw wood chips bricks that are cured will be test to test the strength of brick, water absorption and its dimension will be tested after 28 days. From the another point, this research will show the saw wood chips sand brick are lighter compared to normal sand brick because weight of fine saw wood chips is used in it.
