Abstract
This research conducted to utilise palm oil clinker and rice husk as partial sand replacement in brick production. Presently, waste material such as palm oil clinker and rice husk discharge to landfills due to their little application and this issue caused many type of pollution. On other hand, sand is one of the raw material used in the brick production and since the construction sector is increasing, the demand of river sand become high thus increase the exploration and depletion of river sand. Therefore, accordance with conservation efforts, this researched focused on palm oil clinker and rice husk waste as a partial fine aggregate in bricks production to reduce the pollution comes from landfilling and sand mining activity. This study focused on four mixes containing various percentages of rice husks which are 10%, 20% and 30% with same 12.5% palm oil clinker as a partial sand replacement and control sample. The ratio use for sand brick is 1:6 (1) part of cement and six (6) parts of sand accordance with MS 27. All the specimens were tested for both air and water curing in 3,7,14 and 28 days. The testing included compression test, flexural strength test, water absorption test and density test. In this research, the brick size used is 117mm width x 75mm thickness x 223mm length according to JKR specification. For the general result on strength testing, it showed that 10% to 20% replacement of fine aggregate using rice husk give the higher value than control brick in both compressive and flexural strength. Meanwhile, for water absorption, the value slightly increased with increasing rice husk. This is maybe due to the porosity of sample when rice husk increases. On overall, the brick produced using palm oil clinker and rice husk as partial sand replacement can be used for non-structural part. It also proved that air curing more effective compared to water curing process.
