DESAIN EKSPERIMEN TAGUCHI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KUALITAS BATU BATA BERBAHAN BAKU TANAH LIAT
ABSTRACT: A brick building
material widely used in the public good urban and rural areas, the bricks used
for building construction as non-structural and structural materials in the
residential home building or home .As simple non-structural typically used in
multi-storey buildings for insulation between rooms, or as a garnish. Community
many brick-making business either continuous or seasonal production in the dry
season only, that is where the problems that had been there are no standard
composition of raw clay bricks. Then conducted the research as an evaluation of
the composition of the constituent raw material clay, and performed statistical
improvement in the manufacturing process. In the process of the experiments
conducted by Taguchi approach. Taguchi experiments carried out by determining
the best levels of the factors related to the quality of the bricks will be
improved. From research by several factors that are taken, the most dominant
factor that can increase the hardness of the brick is a mixture of the
composition, the composition of the standard mixture of 90% clay, 5% bran, 5%
fine sand has a hardness (voltage crushed) 57 s / to 80 kg / cm 2. By changing
the composition of a mixture of 85% clay, 5% bran, 10% fine sand can increase
the hardness of 89 s / d 105 kg / cm 2, and at this composition when water
reproduced or softer then the resulting brick hardness can be increased again
until 145 kg / cm2.
