Abstract

The current crisis in building construction materials has encouraged the need for many innovations in developing new materials with alternative raw materials that are available sustainably. The concept of sustainability in the development of construction materials is needed to maintain the existence of these materials so that their availability can be guaranteed for now and in the future. This study describes lightweight bricks as an alternative material to replace red bricks, which are already rare and difficult to obtain. Red bricks made of clay are difficult to make due to the crisis of productive land as a source of raw materials. The existing productive lands are widely used for primary needs such as agriculture, plantations, infrastructure, and buildings. The composition of lightweight brick materials with economic doses can maintain the availability of raw materials for some time to come. The components that are also planned can be replaced by other materials if they are no longer available at a certain time in the future. Developing construction materials by considering sustainable and environmentally friendly concepts can reduce the negative impacts of damage to social, economic, and environmental aspects.
