Lock-brick System for Sustainable and Environment Infrastructure Building Materials
[摘要] The community participation is expected to realize the appropriate housing. But the financial condition does not support, so that appropriate housing to be half constructed, which eventually became jammed unsustainable. Lock-brick system building construction can be implemented for appropriate housing and water infrastructure, such as small ponds and retaining wall construction. Lock-bricks are made from soil as the main ingredients added a little cement, thoroughly mixed in dry conditions, has dampened with water to a level sufficiently moist. Then, pressed with a pressing machine to 60%, forming interlocked bricks when arranged to form the walls of the liveable house. Columns, beams or retaining walls can be constructed with this system. Similarly, other water basin infrastructure such as rainwater catchers-canals can be constructed with this system. Lock-brick systems are used for a wide range of building infrastructure while considering the strength of the structure, so as to meet the standards. Various examples of usability have been done for the simple building liveable housing, student dormitories building, rain water reservoir, runoff catchment canals, soil retaining walls, and pavement floor. The usability, simple, easy to make and cheap, making this lock-brick system can support the development of sustainable infrastructure and built environment.
