Conventional building materials are widely used in a developing country like Malaysia. This type of material is costly. Oil palm shell (OPS) farming solid waste the tropical region. paper aims to investigate strength characteristics and cost analysis concrete produced using gradation OPS 0–50% on conventional coarse aggregate with mix proportions 1 : 1.65 2.45, 2.5 3.3, 3.3 4.2 by weight ordinary Portland cement, river sand, crushed stone, as substitution for aggregate. The corresponding w/c...
This paper investigates the formation of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) as a product ofpozzolanic reactions in cement paste with partially replaced crushed recycled glass at therate 10% and 20%. Three different particle sizes for used this study were therange 150-75μm, 75-38μm lower than 38μm; water to ratio 0.45 was allspecimens. showed that Hydroxide Ca(OH)2 is decreased while theformation C-S-H increased simultaneously 90 days <38μm powder. Theuse waste partial replacement improves...
This paper investigates of an experimental research that was conducted to study the effect natural kenaf fiber on concrete production which implements in sustainable construction industry as a low-cost material. Concrete produced with reinforced (KFRC) volume contents are increasing 0%, 1%, 3% and 5% mix proportions. The fresh properties consisting slump density determined laboratory. compressive strength, compacting factor test, modulus rupture, surface direct shear test KFRC specimens...
Recent studies have been carried out to utilize waste glass in construction as partial cement replacement. This paper investigates the formation of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) and strength characteristics mortar which is partially replaced with powder by replacement level 10%, 20% 30%. Mortar cubes containing varying particle sizes ranges 150-75μm, 63-38 μm lower than 38 a water ratio 0.45 0.40 prepared. Replacement 10% reveals high compressive produces more C-S-H at 28 days other levels
