The Utilization of Bamboo Innovation as Aggregate Substitute for Paving Block

Abstract

The paving block is part of pavement system that is widely used by people in Indonesia. Paving blocks are common in urban and rural communities. Paving blocks are very easy to make and easy to apply. Standard way of making a paving block based on SNI 03-0691-1996 method is a mixture of cement, sand/gravel and water. Excessive use of natural materials has an impact on the sustainability of the natural environment. This problem can be solved with various innovations without having to reduce the quality of paving and the pavement itself. Wiwoho, M. S., et. al., [1][2] has conducted preliminary research using bamboo materials instead of aggregates. Whilst Bamboo trees are fast-growing plants and are widely used as merely buffer buildings. So, Bamboo waste materials have not been used optimally enough. The methodology used is that unused bamboo materials being cut in to the size of the required model. The use of bamboo material as a mixture in paving block has adjusted the size, and its composition. The result of this research is that paving blocks made from bamboo trees can meet SNI 03-0691-1996 standard with D quality. Thus, paving blocks can meet eligibility requirements, reasonably enough.

Community Skill Development for the Use of Galvalume Composite Concrete Materials for Building Structural Parts

“…Various material innovations in the implementation of research that has been carried out in the development of a product. Innovation in making paving as part of road pavement using bamboo material as an aggregate substitute [6]. Another research on testing mild steel C Galvalum as a building structure [7].…”

The status of bamboo research and development for sustainable use in Indonesia: A systematic literature review

“…There were identified 26 papers covered the aspects of; properties and mechanical properties of several species of bamboo [85][86][87][88][89][90][91] as well as the properties of bamboo products as a building construction material [92][93][94][95][96][97]. The research on bamboo as an infrastructure material, namely; bridges [98,99], hardeners or foundation bases of roads [100][101][102], and walls for wave and water blocks [103][104][105] was also published. Another research topic still related to construction and infrastructure is engineered bamboo.…”

Evaluation of the compressive strength of paver blocks with the inclusion of Mangima stone and Eggshell powder

“…Paver blocks used in constructing roads manifest the impressive and advanced technology of ancient civilizations [1]. These are seen in select thoroughfares in both urban and rural areas in the world [2]. Paver block materials are not only convenient in building footpaths and roads due to their ease of installation but also possess attractive designs as well [3].…”
