The use of fiber from oil palm trunk (OPTF) as a concrete fibrous reinforcement / Prof. Madya Zakiah Ahmad and Dr Hamidah Mohd Saman

Concrete has high compressive strength, stiffness, low thermal, low electrical conductivity and low toxic. However, concrete is brittle and weak in tension. When subjected to tensile stress, unreinforced concrete will crack and fail. Reinforcement with randomly distributed short fibers presents an e...
