Excessive load is a significant factor contributing to building collapse during earthquakes. To mitigate this risk, lightweight and resilient materials are essential, and partition boards, commonly used for walls, offer a solution with their low mass. However, most current partition board materials are non-renewable, negatively impacting the environment. This study introduces an environmentally friendly partition board innovation that addresses these concerns. It utilizes waste bamboo fiber and locally available blood cockle shells, combined with basalt powder and water activated by alkali activators like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). These materials offer high quality, ease of production, and environmental sustainability. The research involved three composition variations, with evaluation based on physical properties, mechanical properties, and heat resistance. According to standards (SNI 03-2104-1991 and JIS A 5417-1992), the results classify this innovation as a high-quality, environmentally friendly, and renewable material. This innovation effectively addresses excessive load concerns while promoting environmental sustainability in construction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
