Use of Oil Palm Shell as Replacement of Coarse Aggregate for Investigating Properties of Concrete

In Malaysia, oil palm shell (OPS) is an agricultural solid waste originating from the palm oil industry. In this short-term investigation, old OPS is used for production of lightweight concrete. The density, workability, cube compressive strength and water absorption are measured. Laboratory curing...
