| Summary: | Earthquake
activity in Indonesia increases annually, causing more victims to require
shelter and a rise in disaster waste. This waste can pose health risks and
safety threats to humans, making careful management essential. One way to
address this issue is recycling or reusing disaster waste materials to
construct shelter. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the performance
of earthquake waste materials, recycled or reused as post-disaster shelter. To
achieve this objective, a case study was conducted in Cianjur, Indonesia, where
a recent earthquake occurred, and waste material samples (red brick, ceramic
tile and roof tile) were collected for testing. Moreover, the compressive
strength of the materials was measured in comparison with new building materials.
The results shows that ceramic tile and
roof tiles meet the compressive strength standards and can be reuse for
post-disaster shelters, with compressive strengths of 17.7 MPa and 21.8 MPa. |
