LIGHTWEIGHT BRICKS AS AN ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL FOR BUILDINGS
Abstract
The current crisis in building construction
materials has encouraged the need for many innovations
in developing new materials with alternative raw
materials that are available sustainably. The concept of
sustainability in the development of construction
materials is needed to maintain the existence of these
materials so that their availability can be guaranteed for
now and in the future. This study describes lightweight
bricks as an alternative material to replace red bricks,
which are already rare and difficult to obtain. Red bricks
made of clay are difficult to make due to the crisis of
productive land as a source of raw materials. The existing
productive lands are widely used for primary needs such
as agriculture, plantations, infrastructure, and buildings.
The composition of lightweight brick materials with
economic doses can maintain the availability of raw
materials for some time to come. The components that
are also planned can be replaced by other materials if they
are no longer available at a certain time in the future.
Developing construction materials by considering
sustainable and environmentally friendly concepts can
reduce the negative impacts of damage to social,
economic, and environmental aspects.
