This research aimed to study the use of coarse aggregate obtained from removing old recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in the production of the porous concrete paving block. Crushing and size separation of the coarse aggregate by using standard sieve size by selected the gradation size of the coarse aggregate that passed to sieve size 1/2” and retained on sieve size 3/8” and other that passed to sieve size 3/8” and retained on sieve size No.4 by mixing ratio 50 : 50 of the mass as replaced natural coarse aggregate. Portland cement quantity about 18% and 20% by weight of the aggregate. The water to cement ratio was 0.30 and 0.35 respectively. Compressive strength flexural strength and water permeability were investigated. The results showed that the cement content and water to cement ratio was influenced the strength properties and water permeability rate of the porous concrete paving block. The porous concrete paving block mixed with higher cement content (20%) had the compressive strength at the age of 28 days increased by 16-24% when compared with lower cement content (18%). On the other hand the water permeability rate decreased by 5.1-8.1%.

This research aims to develop the cement board from vesicular basalt fragment which reinforced with steel wire mesh. The ratio of Portland cement type1: fine sand: vesicular basalt fragment: sodium silicate: tap water was equal to 1: 2: 4: 0.03: 0.55 by weight. The 5 sizes of steel wire mesh (steel wire no.25) were installed including: 3/8” 1/2” 5/8” 3/4” and 1”. 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 the 3/4 of steel wire mesh size was the most suitable size for reinforcing the cement board from vesicular basalt fragment. This developed cement boards was the construction materials which had the high bending strength good thermal insulation and moisture protection properties.

The research aims to study and develop the Kaolinite mixed with cement powder for the mass wall. The Kaolinite development process to improve the characteristics. The Kaolinite mixed ratios are 10% 20% 30% and 40% and the result indicated that the experiment mortar-mix ratio at 0:8:2.75:0.2:0.05:0.04:0.5 of cement powder sand Kaolinite limestone superplasticised and clean water compared to No MK control sample covered ASTM standard in tensile strength more than 100 ksc compressive strength of MK20% with superplasticised at 434 ksc. The water absorption values under the standard passed

This research aims to develop the concrete blocks mixed with cassava pit waste. There are 6 mixing ratios among Portland cement type1: rice hush ash: quarry dust: cassava pit waste: water reducer type A: tap water that include 0.7: 0.3: 10: 0: 0.02: 0.6 0.7: 0.3: 9.9: 0.1: 0.02: 0.6 0.7: 0.3: 9.7: 0.3: 0.02: 0.6 0.7: 0.3: 9.4: 0.6: 0.02: 0.6 0.7: 0.3: 9.1: 0.9: 0.02: 0.6 and 0.7: 0.3: 8.8: 1.2: 0.02: 0.6 by weight. The concrete block samples were casted same as the ordinary concrete blocks and test were conducted according to TIS.57-1990 standard. From the results the best proportion of concrete block mixed with coconut shell ash is 0.7: 0.3: 9.7: 0.3: 0.02: 0.6. The proper ratios of cassava pit waste can decrease the density or weight and increase the thermal insulation of concrete blocks. However the over amounts of cassava pit waste that effected to increase the water absorption and decrease the compressive strength properties of concrete blocks.

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 1: 2: 4: 0.03: 0.55 is the most suitable ratio of cement board from coconut shell ash. 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
