Turning waste bricks into concrete

The idea of ​​taking advantage of rubble, macadam, debris, . from the rubble in natural disasters to turn them into concrete helps increase construction industry productivity and significantly save costs.

Increasing construction productivity thanks to the method of turning waste bricks into concrete

Every year, accidents, natural disasters and wars have created a large amount of waste construction materials including rubble, macadam, debris, etc. This amount of rubble not only takes time and money to clean up. but it also takes up space and destroys the living environment , threatening human health. However, a breakthrough method was developed to turn waste materials into concrete to build houses, help solve the conundrum and increase the productivity of construction industry.

The method of turning rubble from rubble into concrete helps the construction industry solve the problem of improving productivity and quality

Accordingly, The Mobile Factory (Netherlands) recently found a solution to turn rubble into useful things. This revolutionary idea has been rekindled since the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, killing more than 50,000 people and tens of thousands of houses destroyed. Although 5 years have passed, 25 million tons of rubble remains scattered throughout the country.

For scientists, rubble is a real " killer" . It is the largest source of pollution in the world in terms of volume, causing environmental damage and health threat to those who are forced to live with it. To solve this problem and help the poor get a stable and inexpensive home, The Mobile Factory collected rubble bricks, put them into processing machines and turned them into liquid concrete. This concrete will then be " transformed" into Lego building blocks and construction workers just assemble them into new homes.

Although built from rubble bricks, this house fully meets the construction quality standards

Sharing the idea of ​​turning waste into useful materials, a Japanese architect named Shigeru Ban also introduced the idea of ​​building houses from stone bricks, debris collected in ruined rubble to reinforce the house. . Specifically, the housing frame is made of light, inexpensive, easy-to-transport wood, these frames can be assembled to create different small and usable areas.

Meanwhile, the roof will be made of paper tubes , locally produced. House frames and roofs are light and easy to assemble, can be erected very quickly, then covered with plastic roof temporarily for temporary shelter. After that, the landlord will reinforce the walls of stone bricks and debris collected from the ruins, gradually making the walls and the house solid, maybe many years to fail.

The idea of ​​utilizing rubble to improve the quality of construction industry is also applied by Japanese architects in Nepal

At the same time, the use of light materials such as paper, wood . will help reduce damage if an earthquake occurs again. It is known that this project will begin deploying in Nepal in August, where the earthquake occurred, causing thousands of deaths and razing hundreds of thousands of houses.

Experts say this technology will be a new step to increase the productivity significantly for the construction industry, allowing victims of earthquakes, war . to have the opportunity to rebuild their homes without spending much time. time, effort . In addition, it also solved the problem of unsolvable environmental pollution caused by rubble.
