Utilization of Vesicular Basalt Fragment as Aggregate in Cement Board for Knockdown Building Wall
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to develop the cement board from vesicular basalt fragment. The 5 ratios of Portland cement type1: fine sand: vesicular basalt fragment: sodium silicate: tap water are equal to 1: 2: 0: 0.03: 0.5, 1: 2: 2: 0.03: 0.5, 1: 2: 4: 0.03: 0.55, 1: 2: 6: 0.03: 0.6 and 1: 2: 8: 0.03: 0.65 by weight. The cement boards were produced by compression machine. The property tests of cement-bonded fiberboard followed the TIS. 878-1994 standard (cement bonded particle board: high density). From the results at 28 days of curing, 1: 2: 4: 0.03: 0.55 is the most suitable ratio of cement board from vesicular basalt fragment. This developed cement boards can apply the vesicular basalt fragment to use as the construction materials with light-weight, high strength, good thermal insulation, and moisture protection properties.
