Tóm tắt

Binh Duong province is experiencing rapid urbanization, creating a great demand for building materials to support the government's policy of promoting the use of non-fired building materials. This policy aims to gradually reduce and eventually eliminate reliance on fired clay bricks. However, under current regulations, the choice of non-fired materials in construction projects largely depends on the views of investors, planners and possibly contractors. For example, only 20-30% of civil buildings with less than nine floors that are not subject to mandatory legal requirements are built with non-fired materials. Therefore, the increased use of non-fired building materials in Binh Duong is an important issue. This study identifies the factors influencing the selection of non-fired materials and proposes specific solutions to promote their use in non-mandatory construction project in the province.
