BAMBOO
• Bamboo has been intensively utilized as a building material since ancient
times.

• However, due to the scarcity of wood in recent years, bamboo has

gained great importance as a source of renewable fiber as a suitable
alternative to wood.

• Particularly, bamboo is suitable for low cost housing in earthquake-

prone regions due to its sturdiness and versatility.

• This versatile forest produce lends itself to be manufactured into mat-

based industrial products such as bamboo mat board, bamboo mat
veneer composite, bamboo mat molded products, bamboo mat
corrugated sheet for roofing, etc.

• These sheets are environment friendly, energy efficient and possess good
fire resistance as well.

RICE HUSK ASH CONCRETE

• Obtained from burning protecting outer cover of rice husk.

• It consists of non-crystalline silicon dioxide (SiO2) with high specific surface area and high pozzolanic reactivity.

• The RHA can be found as natural materials, by-products or industrial wastes Chemical propertie so fare closer to
micro silica ,silica fime.

RICE HUSK ASH CONCRETE

HOW RHA IS PRODUCED –

• Chemical compositions of RHA are affected due to burning process and

temperature.

• RHA produced by burning rice husk between 600 to 700°C

temperatures for 2 hours.

USES OF RHA

RHA can be used in the 2 distinct ways

• To create HPC –RHA can be added to cement to increase high strength

concrete

• To create Green Concrete-RHA can be used as an substitute to reduce

amount of cement with higher strength

RICE HUSK ASH CONCRETE

ADVANTAGES -

• Improves compressive strength, flexural strengths and split tensile

strength.
• RHA mixed concrete shows better bond strength as compared to OPC
concrete.
• Permeability of concrete decreases chloride diffusion and chloride
permeation reduces (30%) replacement.
• RHA makes a role to increased resistance to chemical .

DISADVANTAGES –

• Suitable incinerator/furnace as well as grinding method is required for

burning and grinding rice husk in order to obtain good quality ash.
• Strength of concrete is reduced for larger (beyond 30%) replacement.
• There is a little transportation problem.
• Unburnt RHA is not suitable for concrete production

PLASTIC BRICKS

• The concept of plastic bricks first came up in Africa when in an

experimental project financed by a European Union, plastic
bags were melted and transformed into bricks with a cement
mold saving both money and time.

• The plastic bags were used to fill the potholes in Niger in a way
to solve the problem of waste disposal.

• These bricks are not only inexpensive but are also easily
workable.

• Plastic bricks have been extensively used in highway and

railway infrastructure.

PLASTIC BRICKS

• Plastic from the millions of the bottles and bags are

melted and molded in the form of bricks are used
in the construction of the roads.

• This has considerably enhanced the elastic nature

of the surface helping in more load-bearing
capacity of highways.

• In India, this technology has been initiated on an

experimental basis for railway sleepers, but was
stopped since the danger to fire is a major concern.

BAGASSE PARTICLE BOARD

• Bagasse is the residual pulp from sugarcane after the juice has
been extracted.

• A considerable amount of excess bagasse generated from sugar

mills is left to rot or burnt as fuel for boilers. This by-product is
now being used as a substitute for wood in particle boards that
are light and low cost.

• Bagasse-based composites offer potential as the core material

for laminated floors, replacing high-density and expensive wood
fiberboard.

• As such, bagasse does not have enough strength and water

resistance to be used on its own.

BAGASSE PARTICLE BOARD

• The main application of bagasse is in the manufacture of particle

boards as low-cost construction materials and for the furniture
industries.

• If it is made into a laminated particle board with resin as a

bonding agent and wax as dimensional stabilizer, then it can be
used for laminated floor and furniture applications.

• IPIRTI has developed a technology for the manufacture of

Bagasse particle boards, which emits less formaldehyde and
meets the requirement of strength properties for medium
density particle boards.
