Geo-clav brick: Green unfiredelav Geopolymer high strength brick

Abstract

The infrastructure such as buildings for housing, industry and the facilities for handling water and sewage will require large amounts of construction materials. Since the large demand has been placed on building material industry especially in the last decade owing to the increasing population, there is a mismatch between demand-supply management of these materials. In 2012, based on International Trade Centre statistics, it is reported that Malaysia has imported over 49,094 million USD of construction materials (Item Product: 6902 Refractory bricks, blocks, tile & refractory ceramic construction materials). Therefore, there is a need for Malaysians to be able to produce an efficient and green building materials especially bricks to fulfil our internal demand.
