Flexural Behaviour of Reinforced Lightweight Concrete Beams Made with Oil Palm Shell (OPS)

This paper presents an investigation on the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams produced from oil palm shell (OPS) aggregates. Utilising OPS in concrete production not only solves the problem of disposing this solid waste but also helps conserve natural resources. A total of 6 under-rein...
