Lightweight Brick More Earthquake Resistant
Building a house or building not only serves as a shelter from the hot sun and cold nights but also our place to shelter from the risk of disaster one of them is earthquake. Building a house or building must have good strength to withstand earthquake shocks, with the power against good earthquake shocks will provide sufficient time to perform the actions of life and material salvation.
We know that our country is an area of frequent earthquakes, there is already a lot of data showing that earthquakes often hit the country, already many casualties and property. For that we need smart choice in choosing building materials that have earthquake resistant properties at this time.
A building or building strength rests on the strength of the foundation structure and its concrete structures such as column structures and beams to withstand the mass load of building structures. The load of the structure or mass of the building depends on the weight of the material used in its entirety, the greater the weight of the structure due to the accumulated weight of the material used in its entirety, the structure will bear the heavy burden which is susceptible to earthquake shocks. The use of building materials that have lightweight properties will give a positive impact to reduce the burden of the structure.
Currently, there are many present building materials that have lightweight properties such as light:
1. Lightweight steel roof truss replacing wood material in which lightweight or galvalum steel roof truss has lighter material weight than wood with durable strength.
2. Lightweight brick which is a conventional red brick wall substitute material material, lightweight brick has a much lighter weight compared with ordinary red brick.
3. AAC Floor Panel which is a substitute for conventional concrete casting, floor panels weigh three times lighter than conventional concrete cast with strong strength strength of concrete.
4. There are many other materials that have light weight but strong properties such as aluminum frames, sills and doors pvc, upvc sills and so on.
Specification of red stone
• Dry density (?): 1500 kg / m3
• Normal density (?): 2000 kg / m3
• Strong press: 2.5 N / mm²
• Thermal conductivity: 0.380 W / mK
• Species thickness: 20–30 mm
• Fire resistance: 2 hours
Lightweight Brick Specifications
• Dry density: 520 kg / m3
• Normal density: 650 kg / m3
• Strong press:> 4.0 N / mm2
• Thermal conductivity: 0.14 W / mK
• Thick Species: 3 mm
• Fire resistance: 4 hours
From the data above shows that the dry weight of red brick is 1500 kg.m3 than the dry weight of brick is 520 kg / m3, so it can be said that the weight of red brick 3x times heavier than light brick or in other words lightweight lighter brick almost 3 Times red brick.
The above conclusions also show that by using lightweight brick, the building structure of the building wall will be 3 x lighter or the structure load will be reduced 3 x lighter. With the load efficiency of the wall structure of nearly 3x, the resistance to earthquake shocks becomes much better so as to provide plenty of time to perform the rescue action during earthquake disaster.
It is time for the public to make a smart choice in choosing building materials or high rise buildings, with Autoclved Aerated Concrete technology that produces lightweight AAC lightweight and more earthquake resistant products.
Currently, there are many brands of light brick in Malang such as Citicon, Grand Elephant, Gracon, Focon, Bricon, Blesscon, Brix, Falcon, Fastcon, Ecoblock, Great Wall and so on, so people or consumers need not be confused to find The lightweight brick brands generally from some brands have similar weight with comparatively compressive strength because they are equally produced with AAC technology, based on the same that is silica sand.
