| Abstract | The use of agricultural waste as lightweight coarse aggregate gives advantages in environment and economy aspects. This investigation presents the utilization of oil palm shell (OPS) in foamed concrete (OFC). Three mixtures were prepared with different target densities, namely 1100, 1300 and 1500 kg/m3. The test on the mechanical properties of OFC was investigated in this research work. Additionally, the fresh state properties were discussed. The experimental results showed that reducing the density of OFC, decreases the compressive strength as well. However, the OFC exhibited structural grade lightweight concrete with 28-day compressive strength and density of 17 MPa and 1544 kg/m3, respectively. |
