Abstract

This study investigated the quality of wall bricks that are used by people in Koto Tangah - Padang to rebuild their homes after the 30 September 2009 earthquake. This research covered the nature of looks, size and tolerance, water absorption and compressive strength of bricks, and compared them with Indonesian National Standard of bricks (SNI 15-2094-2000). Primary data were gained from field sampling and laboratory testing (experimental test) and then were analyzed to determine the quality of bricks. The results showed that the bricks do not meet the requirements of the SNI 15-2094-2000. © 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
