Civil engineering (General) TH Building construction The use of industrial waste as construction material to build environmentally sustainable structures has several practical and economic advantages. Oil palm shell (OPS) is a solid waste material from the palm oil industry that has been successfully used to produce high strength durable lightweight concrete. However, this concrete is very sensitive to a poor curing environment.
