“…Series: Materials Science and Engineering 271 (2017) 012083 doi:10.1088/1757-899X/271/1/012083 A huge number of building materials are made out of recyclable materials to reduce cost and save the environment. Many efforts were done to combine various kinds of waste products in the production of bricks and concrete such as natural fibres, processed tea waste, sewage sludge, structured glass waste from computers and televisions, sugarcane dregs, organic waste, grass ashes, marbles and granite waste [1][2][3][4][5]. Recycling the waste produced by industrial and agricultural activities to form building materials is a viable resolution to not only pollution problems, but also to designing buildings economically [6].…”

“…Generally, porous materials are classified as fibrous medium or porous foam which is produced using various types of materials. On the other hand, fibrous media consists of high acoustics absorption and fire proof properties for several materials such as glass or rock wool [30][31][32][33]. According to T. Morimoto [34], more than 90% of air on porous absorbing materials leads to the dissipation of sound propagation through the small pores on the porous material.…”

Abstract. Nowadays, advanced development and sophisticated new technology have led to various types of environmental pollution such as water, air, land, thermal pollution and so on. Recently, however, noise pollution is becoming one of the major threats to the world especially in urban areas where it adversely affects the quality of life of the public. In Malaysia, the Department of Environment has identified that the average transportation noise levels in major cities in peninsular Malaysia are 71.6 dB (A) and 70.4 dB (A) during the day and night respectively. The noise is usually emitted by airplanes, trains, vehicles, motorcycles, trucks and etc. Even though rail transport requires less energy and emits less hazardous substances, it has contributed to noise pollution issues and several health hazards among urban inhabitants such as deafness, nervous breakdowns, mental disorder, heart troubles, high blood pressure, headaches, dizziness, inefficiency and insomnia. Therefore, many studies attempt to reduce noise pollution by applying noise barriers at noise polluted areas via various approaches. This paper aims to explore the effectiveness of noise barriers using noise absorption performance due to several factors such as type of absorbent materials, material thickness, density, porosity and design. This research has found that the thicker the specimen and the denser the absorbent material, the better the sound absorption performance. Besides that, barrier design also plays a major role in determining its effectiveness, where the effectiveness of noise barriers should be high and long enough to break the line-of-sight between the sound source and the receiver. There are several methods that can be used to measure the effectiveness of noise barriers such as the Adrienne Method (in-situ measurement method) and impedance tube method (laboratory measurement method) to measure the acoustic absorption. Nevertheless, the impedance tube measurement method provides the most precise results with the least measurement uncertainty as it only required small samples of the material.

Abstract. Nowadays, uncontrolled disposal of waste materials such as tyres can affect the environment. Therefore, careful management of waste disposal must be done in order to conserve the environment. Waste tyres can be use as a replacement for both fine aggregate and coarse aggregate in the production of concrete. This research was conducted to assess the durability of concrete containing recycled tyres which have been crushed into fine fragments to replace fine aggregate in the concrete mix. This study presents an overview of the use of waste rubber as a partial replacement of natural fine aggregate in a concrete mix. 36 concrete cubes measuring 100mm x 100mm x 100mm and 12 concrete cubes measuring 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were prepared and added with different percentages of rubber from recycled tyres (0%, 3%, 5% and 7%) as fine aggregate replacement. The results obtained show that the replacement of fine aggregate with 7% of rubber recorded a compressive strength of 43.7MPa while the addition of 3% of rubber in the concrete sample recorded a high compressive strength of 50.8MPa. This shows that there is a decrease in the strength and workability of concrete as the amount of rubber used a replacement for fine aggregate in concrete increases. On the other hand, the water absorption test indicated that concrete which contains rubber has better water absorption ability. In this study, 3% of rubber was found to be the optimal percentage as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in the production of concrete.
