Aggregate gradation is measured by determining the percentage of various particle sizes in an aggregate sample using a standard sieve arrangement. Gradation is usually expressed as a curve showing the percentage of each particle size on a logarithmic scale. This curve can then be used to determine the optimum mix design for a given concrete grade. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of adjusting the gradation of the coarse aggregate of crushed clinker bricks on the strength of concrete. Clinkers bricks are bricks that have been burned at temperatures that are excessively high. The coarse aggregate grading is adjusted according to aggregate grading limits based on SNI 7656-2012, which are divided into three types of grading limits, namely upper, middle, and lower limits. A total of 60 cylindrical 150mm x 300mm concrete specimens were used for the compressive strength tests. The findings showed that adjusting the lower limit gradation produced optimum compressive strengths of 29.09 MPa, 35.08 MPa, 39.96 MPa, and 38.82 MPa, respectively, for the specified target concrete strengths of 20 MPa, 25 MPa, 30 MPa, and 35 MPa, which were higher than those of the middle and upper limit gradations. The compressive strength and density of the concrete can be significantly improved by modification of the coarse aggregate grading of the clinker bricks

West Sumatra is a province in Indonesia that is known for its high levels of seismic activity. Brick-walled buildings are particularly vulnerable during earthquakes. As the property sector continues to grow, the demand for red bricks in construction is rising. The brick industry in West Sumatra is thriving despite economic pressures. Red brick remains popular among the public, particularly as the main component of walls in simple house buildings. However, each manufacturer uses different raw materials, resulting in varying levels of quality, which still need to meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). This research aims to determine which brick composition has the best elemental properties in West Sumatra and investigates the effect of temperature on the chosen brick and its characteristics. The X-ray fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) test results indicate that the composition of Pariaman bricks is the closest to the required standards and so they were selected as test specimens to evaluate brick characteristics. The highest compressive strength results were obtained in bricks at a temperature of 800 o C and they also fulfilled the requirements of SNI 15-2094-2000, with a water absorption capacity under 20% of the water absorption rates. Based on the density testing, the increase in the firing temperatures of the specimens increases the bulk density. This is related to the lower porosity of brick at higher temperature firings. The modulus of elasticity was directly proportional to the compressive strength; the higher the temperature, the higher the brick stiffness.

This research studies the physical properties of the low quality of bricks mixed with sandy -soil in home industries located in Gunung Sarik of Padang City. The ratio mixture of the brick making material in the home industries was not measured with the proper measurement; as a result the quality of the brick was poor. The research used 5 x 5 x 5 cm and 180 cubes of bricks to see the physical changes. The ratio of mixed materials between sandy soil and clay are 0.11.025, 0.43,0.67,1.0, and 1.50. The procedure for making bricks was the same as a factory without changing the factory method. The process of burning bricks for three days and two nights using wood. From the test results, the density of the bricks did not change significantly between direct and indirect fire exposure but decreased in proportion to the addition of sandy soil. The addition of sandy soil reduces the percentage of damage and physical changes. The acceptable ratio of sandy -soil mixture is a range of 0.43.-0.6.
