Performance of high strength lightweight concrete using palm wastes

The performance of high strength structural lightweight concrete (LWC) using palm wastes, oil palm shell (OPS) as well as palm oil clinker (POC) is of foremost concern. Existing literature used either OPS or POC individually for production of LWC. In this study, both OPS and POC have been put togeth...
