Effectiveness of chemical treatment of oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber as reinforcement in foamed mortar / Nur Nabilah Mohamad Bakhtiar and Md Azree Othuman Mydin

These days, construction material manufacturers in Malaysia have put an effort to utilize industrial waste in the production of building materials especially concrete based products. It should be pointed out that natural fibers have become attention-grabbing and interesting to be employed as an indu...
