Cymbopogon nardus Leaf Ash as an Alternative Material for Enhancing Concrete Strength

Numerous waste materials containing calcium and silica have been adopted as partial cement substitutes. This practice is intended to reduce the environmental impact of cement production, specifically in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, plantation waste, specifically waste from Cymbo...

Cymbopogon nardus Leaf Ash as an Alternative Material for Enhancing Concrete Strength
description Numerous waste materials containing calcium and silica have been adopted as partial cement substitutes. This practice is intended to reduce the environmental impact of cement production, specifically in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
