Abstract

Utilization of bagasse as an added ingredient of making bricks. Researchers used ash Waste Dregs Sugar CaneFactory Takalar, South Sulawesi. The purpose of this study is utilization of bagasse ash for use in the manufacture ofbricks. In this study, as many as four variants, the variant SN Normal brick samples (without the addition of sugar caneash amps), S10, S30, and S50 samples of bricks mixed with bagasse ash as much as 10%, 30%, 50%. Experience lookedoutside, the power of fiber, bulk density and compressive strength. The test results of samples bricks can be concludedthat utilization of bagasse ash in the production of bricks which are well used is the sample S10 (10% bagasse), canreduce the level of cracking and the weight of the contents of a brick of 7% -12%, and the salt content of 4% -12%, theEffects of bagasse ash increased the absorption of 42% -110%. And decrease the compressive strength up to 23%.
