In this study we investigated on the mechanical properties and physical properties of light weight block mixed with banana fibers. For the cost effective purpose and environmental friendly product banana fibers which is rich in fiber was used as a precursor in producing light weight block. In this framework a series of blocks were fabricated using banana fibers for instead different raw material involve cement and sand for 28 days incubation. The result show that the block with mix banana fiber was replaced cement in 2.5 %wt has the density value and compressive strength is 1376 kg/m3 and 62.25 kg/cm3 respectively. While water absorption and the maximum shrinkage limit value are 32.86 % and 0.12 % respectively were obtain from the samples mixing 7.5% of banana fibers. After examination of of Thai Industrial Standard (TIS 1505- 2541) the result illustrated the value are standard. It can be concluded that the light weight block mixed banana fibers in ratio of sand: cement: lime: gypsum: aluminum powder: banana fibers are 50: 27.5 : 9 : 9 : 2 : 2.5 will also be used as an alternative precursor materials for producing the light weight block by natural raw materials for cost effective purpose.

The purpose of this research is to study the construction safety system for working at height. The safety system for working at height in this research is predetermined by department of labour protection and welfare and safety and health at work promotion association (Thailand). The safety system composed of (1) safety policy (2) safety organization (3) prevention measure (4) risk analysis (5) training (6) safety inspection (7) accident report and (8) emergency planning.

This research aims to produce scrap page kaolin of brick construction. The kaolin clay ratio of 100: 0 80:20 60:40 50:50 40:60 20:80 and 0: 100 by volume Add mixed with rice husk and rice 15 percent by weight A total of seven ratios. According to standard tests or TIS. 77-2545 ordinary story brick building. The moisture content and water absorption is increasing. While density Thermal conductivity resistance flexural and compressive strength tends to decrease. The best ratio of 80:20 by volume with compressive strength 43.16 kg / cm 2 and 24.93 percent water absorption. Criteria standard of TIS. 77-2545 requiring compressive strength not less than 35 kg / cm2 and water absorption must not be higher than 25 percent. Can be used in the manufacture of brick construction including building decorative wall can be developed into products. Because skin color and beautiful

This research presents a study of the compressive strength chloride penetration and resistance to corrosion of concrete containing bottom ash. Fine and coarse aggregate is partially replaced with bottom ash 25 50 75 and 100% by weight of the aggregate. The results show that the compressive strength and low chloride penetration of concrete improves substantially with partial replacement of aggregate with bottom ash. Concrete mix cement containing 25 and 50% of bottom ash can be used to make coarse aggregate. In addition Concrete mix cement containing 100% of bottom ash can be used to make fine aggregate. The use of bottom ash produces concrete mix with good compressive strength and resistance to chloride and corrosion.

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of a safety system provided for external wall plastering activity on productivity by studying a construction of commercial buildings. The safety system composed of (1) stable scaffolding system (2) providing clean and not slip walkways on the scaffold (3) installation of handrails not less than 0.90 meters in height along sides of the scaffold (4) installing safety nets around outside perimeters of the scaffolding (5) indicating working area (6) installing stairs (7) providing protection for people who works below (8) providing tools and equipments for transporting material which are safe and ready for using and (9) providing personal protective equipment for workers. Cost of the safety system is 79665 baht for a wall area of 1510 m2 or approximately 53 baht/m2. The prevention cost is quite high because it is an initial investment cost. However contractors could repeat theirs used on future projects. Productivity rates for prior and after the used of safety system are 1.16 and 1.13 m2/person/hr respectively. The productivity declines for approximately 3%. In addition our study found an impact of predecessor activity which is a brick laying activity. If brick walls are not well aligned and plumbed the working time for wall plastering could take longer for 8%. Meanwhile the wall plastering productivity could decrease for 11% and labor cost could increase for 12%.
