The spring back effect of oil palm empty fruit bunch fibre on physical and mechanical properties of cement board

The inclusion of oil palm empty fruit bunch fibre (EFB) in cement board has promoted the internal stress development called spring back (SpB). Theoretically SpB has increased the thickness and decreases the density of the sample, and eventually decline the physical and mechanical properties of empty...
