Panel Komposit Limbah Serbuk Kayu sebagai Alternatif Komponen Bangunan Ramah Lingkungan

Abstract

This research discusses about comparison, testing, and analyzing composite materials for develop the building panels for lightweigh-wall applications made from wood-industrial waste materials. Wood sawdust is used as a composite cement mixture as a binder of all materials with the mixture 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of total weight. This research uses quantitative methods with blocks as a sample sizes 10cm x 3cm x 1cm. The test includes flexible test, porosity test, and composite walldensity test to find out mechanical and physical properties of composite material. The result of this research shows that the usage of wood sawdust as a mixture for making composite panel with 0.4 water-factor at 28 days-age get the optimum value at 15% of mixture variation with flexibility of 7.18 MPa, density 1.61 kg/m³ and compressive strength of 58.42, MPa. These results indicate that the wall panel meets the requirement of SNI 03-0349-1989 with concrete steel-brick level IV as a non-structural brick. Based on these results, it can be concluded that composite panel can be used on the wall as an effort to reduce the impact of the ruins of the building, and reduce the danger as a disaster mitigation effort.

Application of non-degradable waste as building material for low-cost housing

“…The most common building applications for natural fibre materials (e.g. rice husk, sisal fibre, and banana leaves) are panel board, reinforced composite materials, and insulation [10][11][12][13] . Therefore, the usage of lime and mud for nonstructural construction components like bricks for walls has become increasingly common when working with earthy materials 10,14-18 .…”
