Research has been carried out on the analysis of the physical properties of paving blocks from egg shell powder. This study aims to determine the physical properties of water absorption, density and porosity in the resulting paving blocks. The samples used were eggshell powder, cement, and sand with a ratio of 0%:40%:60%, 5%:35%:60%, 10%:30%:60%, 15%:25%:60%, 20%:20%:60%. The FAS used was 0,56 and the drying time for the paving blocks was 28 days. The results of the analysis of the physical properties of paving blocks produced at 0% variation have a water absorption value = 8,08%, density = 2,29 g/cm3 and porosity = 13,31%, at 5% variation has a water absorption value = 8,10%, density = 2,18 g/cm3 and porosity = 13,94%, the 10% variation has a water absorption value = 8,63%, density = 2,17 g/cm3 and porosity = 14,41% , the 15% variation has a water absorption value = 8,83%, density = 2,16 g/cm3 and porosity = 14,94%, the 20% variation has a water absorption value = 9,10%, density = 2 ,14 g/cm3 and porosity = 16,82%.

A pulp-based ceiling board has been made. Variations in the composition of mixing cement and pulp used include: 70%: 30%, 60%: 40%, and 50%: 50% and Variations in the composition of mixing cement, sand and pulp used include: 50%:20%:30%, 40%:20%:40%, 30%:20%:50% with FAS 0,4 and the printing and pressing time is 24 hours. The parameters of the test include: water absorption and density. Analysis of the ceiling board physical produced in sample A with a composition of 70%: 30% has a water absorption value = 19% and density = 1.58%, in sample B with a composition of 6%: 40% has a water absorption value = 26 , 8% and density = 1.53%, in sample C with a composition of 50%: 50% has a water absorption value = 26.05% and density = 1.45%, in sample D with a composition of 50%:20%:30% has a water absorption value = 24,3% and density = 1.67%, in sample E with a composition of 40%:20%:40% has a water absorption value = 20,9% and density = 1.45%, in sample F with a composition of 30%:20%:50% has a water absorption value = 14,8 % and density = 1.34%.

A research has been done on the mechanical bricking test with the addition of bagasse ash. In this study, the tested bricks tested were compressive and flexural strength. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding bagasse ash to the mechanical properties of the concrete brick. The percentage variation of bagasse ash, cement, and sand are 0%:30%:70%, 5%:25%:70%, 10%:20%:70%, 15%:15%:70%, 20%:10%:70% with Water Cement Ratio of 0.5 in all variations. The addition of bagasse ash as a substitute for cement significantly affected the characteristics of the concrete brick. With the addition of bagasse ash in a mixture of 5-20% causes the compressive strength to decrease. While the flexural strength has increased in the variation of the mixture of 5-10% and has decreased in the variation of the mixture of 15-20%. The most optimal composition of mixing bagasse ash, cement, and sand is at 5% mixture variation for compressive strength and flexural strength testing because it meets SNI 03-0348-1989 standards. Whereas the other mixed variations are not optimal. Keyword s : Bagasse ash, Compressive Strength, and Flexural Strength .
