This research aims to develop the coconut coir ceiling board mixed with natural latex. The 6 ratios of gypsum plaster: coconut coir: sodium silicate: natural rubber: tap water are equal to 1: 0.15: 0.03: 0.00: 1 1: 0.15: 0.03: 0.01: 1 1: 0.15: 0.03: 0.02: 1 1: 0.15: 0.03: 0.03: 1 1: 0.15: 0.03: 0.04: 1 and 1: 0.15: 0.03: 0.05: 1 by weight. The ceiling boards were produced by casting in normal temperature (30 – 35 degree of Celsius). The properties testing of coconut coir ceiling board mixed with natural latex followed the TIS 219-2009 standard (gypsum plasterboard) including: breaking load nail pull resistance deflection water absorption density thermal conductivity coefficient and real usage. From the results 1: 0.15: 0.03: 0.03: 1 ratio is the most suitable ratio of coconut coir ceiling board mixed with natural latex. This developed ceiling boards can reduce the quantity of coconut coir waste and get the good thermal insulation ceiling board products.

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of safety measure to construction productivity for ceiling activity by studying a construction of buildings in Bangkok. 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 (4) installing stairs (5) providing personal protective equipment for workers (6) are responsible for scaffolding and (7) scaffolding permit document. Cost of the safety system is 23908 baht or approximately 33 baht/m2. Productivity rates for prior and after the used of safety system are 1.57 and 1.41 m2. /person/hr. respectively. The productivity declines for approximately 10.19 % the working time for ceiling could take longer for 10.45 % and labor cost could increase for 10.19 %.

This research aims to produce the T-BAR particleboard from Physic nuts for interior building which are brought agricultural wastes to used for beneficial materials. Under the Thailand industrial standard (TIS-876-2547) specified the evaluated values such as desnsity water content water absorption thickness swelling bending strength elastic modulus and internal bonded. The experiment and evaluation processes between Physic nuts per Urea Formaldehyde ratio and Physic nuts per Phenol-cyanate based on 90:10 92:8 95:5 and 97:3 in consequence that we found the thickness of particleboard not more than 2 cm. The suitable ratio for Phenol-cyanate 92:8 percentage (Physic nuts 92% with Phenol-cyanate 8%) and suitable ratio for Urea Formaldehyde 90:10 percentage (Physic nuts 90% with Urea Formaldehyde 10%) at 120 Celsius temperature on pressing process. The Phenol-cyanate glue ratio of 0.80 gram per cubic centimeter suited to produce the particleboards averaged water content before pressing 8.89% suitable pressure in process 150 pound per square inch water content 7.65% density 0.818 gram per cubic centimeter water absorption 14.23% during 2 hours thickness swelling 8.02% during 2 hours internal bond 0.56 MPa bending strength 21.45 MPa modulus 2116 MPa. The Urea Formaldehyde glue ratio of 0.82 gram per cubic centimeter suited to produce the particleboards averaged water content before pressing 9.84% suitable pressure in process 152 pound per square inch water content 8.63% density 0.833 gram per cubic centimeter water absorption 14.36% during 2 hours thickness swelling 8.95% during 2 hours internal bond 1.39 MPa bending strength 22.37 MPa modulus 2117 MPa. As the results shown that both of Urea Formaldehyde and Phenol-cyanate with Physic nuts passed the TIS 876-2547 standard. The Physic nuts can produce the particleboards for using inside building.

This research aims to develop the ceiling board mixed with coconut coir. The 5 ratios of gypsum plaster: coconut coir: sodium silicate: tap water are equal to 1 : 0 : 1: 0.03 1: 100: 1: 0.03 1: 150: 1: 0.03 1: 200: 1: 0.03 1: 250: 1: 0.03 และ 1: 300: 1: 0.03 by weight. The ceiling boards were produced by casting in normal temperature (30 – 35 degree of Celsius). The properties testing of ceiling board mixed with coconut coir followed the TIS 219-2009 standard (gypsum plasterboard) including: breaking load nail pull resistance deflection water absorption density and thermal conductivity coefficient. From the results 1 : 1 5 0 : 1: 0.03 is the most suitable ratio of ceiling board mixed with coconut coir. This developed ceiling boards can reduce the quantity of coconut coir waste and get the good thermal insulation ceiling board products

This research aims to study the using oil palm fiber to develop ceiling board product. The mixture ratios of Gypsum plaster: oil palm fiber: tap water: catalyst are 1 : 0.15 : 1: 0.03 1 : 0.20 : 1: 0.03 1 : 0.25 : 1: 0.03 1 : 0.30: 1: 0.03 and 1 : 0.35 : 1: 0.03 by weight. The ceiling board samples are cast in 30 x 30 x 1 centimeter in dimension. The ceiling board sample testing follows the TIS 219-2552. The results show that the longitudinal and lateral breaking load Nail pull resistance density and thermal conductivity of ceiling board with high quantity of oil palm fiber are lower than ceiling board with low quantity of oil palm fiber while that the deflection and water absorption of ceiling board with high quantity of oil palm fiber are higher. However all of oil palm fiber samples with lower than 0.2 of ratio can pass the standard.
