Use of Recyclable Waste As Acoustic Material For Indoor Applications

Abstract

The construction sector is characterized by an incessant demand for new materials, resulting in the continuous consumption of natural resources and exacerbating environmental degradation. This study aims to innovate within this context by developing a novel acoustic material through the strategic reuse of waste generated from construction and demolition activities. Specifically, brick waste serves as the primary constituent in the formulation of this new composite material. To enhance its acoustic properties, agricultural by-products, particularly paddy husks, are incorporated to introduce a porous structure, which is hypothesized to significantly augment the material's sound absorption capabilities. The overarching objective is to achieve a sound absorption coefficient that surpasses that of traditional brick materials, thereby offering a more effective solution for acoustic insulation in construction applications. This research is grounded in rigorous laboratory experimentation, wherein samples produced in two distinct thicknesses are meticulously evaluated using an impedance tube to ascertain their acoustic performance under controlled conditions. The findings of this study are anticipated to not only contribute to sustainable building practices but also to facilitate the reduction of waste in the construction industry, thereby fostering a more circular economy.
