The progress of development in Indonesia is very rapid, building materials are demanded to have good quality. purpose this study determine the comparison compressive strength red brick and lightweight as it should be field that affects economic development, useful for community when buying materials. This type research qualitative. data was obtained by conducting on analysis techniques. used us...

The demand for sustainable alternative construction materials to cement in modern technology cannot be underemphasized. This paper presents a non-fired green brick with an agriculture residue namely, rice husk. Although, high plasticity brown clay deposits are widely distributed in Malaysia and rice husk is a well known agriculture residue, research works on non-fired green brick with rice husk...

An Euler brick is a cuboid with integer side dimensions such that the face diagonals are integers. Already in 1740, families of Euler bricks have been found. Euler himself constructed more families. If the space diagonal of an Euler brick is an integer too, an Euler brick is called a perfect Euler brick. Nobody has found one. There might be none. Nevertheless, it is an entertaining sport to go ...

According to ‘composition as identity’ (CAI), a composite object is identical all its parts taken together. Thus, plurality of objects the those objects’ parts. This has consequence that, e.g., bricks which compose brick wall are atoms bricks, and hence that must include each atoms. CAI in direct conflict with standard analysis plural definite descriptions (and comprehension schema uses it). an...

The composition process of the acousmatic piece Gazelle Rain Petals began with the construction of the elemental pitch and rhythmic modules – the organogeometric brick modules, as a musical metaphor to Dubuffet’s lithographic series Les Murs. These brick modules are 4-pitch series (tetrachords) that cover all possible pitch permutations to represent 4-sided geometric as well as organo-geometric...

This study's focus was to develop a potential pathway for recycling of the paper mill sludge compost (PMSC) in brick making. Composting reduces (PMS) moisture content considerably and shredding becomes easier. The addition PMSC leads an increase porosities bricks makes them lighter, besides delivering energy firing process from burning organics. Lighter construction materials help minimize outl...

When testing multi-story structures on a shaking table, most testing facilities require a reduced scale model. Producing scale test units at small scale is particularly challenging for unreinforced masonry structures. Previous work by other researchers showed that scaling of units and mortar joints is mandatory in order to obtain for the reduced scale masonry failure modes, which are similar to...

This paper presents an experimental study on the microstructure and performance of stabilized earth bricks prepared from the Yellow River sediment. The sediment is modified by inorganic cementitious material, polymer bonding agent, and jute fibre. The results show that the sediment is preliminarily consolidated when the mixture ratio of activated sediment/cementitious binder/sand is 65/25/10. C...

In this paper, we present a method for automatic verification of real-time control programs running on LEGO RCX bricks using the verification tool UPPAAL. The control programs, consisting of a number of tasks running concurrently, are automatically translated into the timed automata model of UPPAAL. The fixed scheduling algorithm used by the LEGO RCX processor is modeled in UPPAAL, and supp...
