Enhancement of the mechanical properties of lightweight oil palm shell concrete using rice husk ash and manufactured sand

This study explores the use of rice husk ash (RHA) and manufactured sand (M-sand) as replacements for cement and fine aggregate, respectively, in lightweight oil palm shell concrete (OPSC). In the first stage of this study, the effect of various cement replacement levels, with RHA (5, 10, 15, and 20...
