ECO-FRIENDLY FOAM CONCRETE USING VULCANIZED TIRE WASTE AND RICE HUSK ASH: A CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION IN THE SPIRIT OF ISLAMIC ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

Fetra Venny Riza

Abstract

In line with sustainable construction practices and the Islamic principle of environmental stewardship (khalifah fil ardh), this study investigates the use of rice husk ash (RHA) and vulcanized tire waste (VTW) in foam concrete production. By partially replacing cement with RHA (0%, 5%, 10%) and sand with VTW (0%, 10%, 20%), the research aims to reduce environmental waste while contributing to eco-friendly building solutions. A total of 54 cube specimens (10 × 10 × 10 cm) were prepared using sand-cement ratios of 1:2 and water-cement ratios of 0.35 and 0.45. Compressive strength was tested at 28 days. Results indicated the highest strength (12.26 MPa) in the control mix at a 0.35 water-cement ratio, while the lowest (2.12 MPa) occurred with 20% VTW and 10% RHA at a 0.45 ratio. Although the mechanical properties decreased with higher waste content, the study underscores the environmental value and potential of integrating industrial and agricultural waste into concrete, supporting the pursuit of sustainable development inspired by Islamic environmental ethics.
