Study on prefabrication method for housing in Indonesia by utilization undegradable waste for building material

Abstract

Due to the rapid urban population, Indonesia's housing policy was developed to address the housing backlog that currently, the demand is expected to increase every year. By linkage housing provision and barriers in terms of housing technology, this paper is aimed to propose potential building materials and the construction technology. An experimental study has been conducted to develop disposable diaper waste as potential building materials for composite panel. By constructing the material using prefabrication method with a modular system becomes one of the best choices to accelerate construction speed compared to on site construction. Based on experimental study, maximum replacement of composite material by disposable diaper waste is 30% for wall panel and 5% for floor panel. In addition, the construction cost of prototype housing using prefabrication method is more affordable compared to on site construction.

“…In recent years, the construction industry has undergone a paradigm shift toward environmentally friendly and sustainable practices [1] [2] [3]. As the world faces the challenges of climate change and declining natural resources, there is a growing need to investigate alternative materials that can reduce the ecological footprint of construction projects [4].…”
