The effect of aggregate condition during mixing on the mechanical properties of oil palm shell (OPS) concrete

One of the key characteristics affecting the properties of OPS concrete is the saturation condition of the coarse aggregates used during mixing. In this current study, the effect of different aggregate saturation conditions during mixing on the slump, compressive, flexural and splitting tensile stre...
