Effect of substitution of normal weight coarse aggregate with oil-palm-boiler clinker on properties of concrete

Oil-palm-boiler clinker (OPBC) is an agricultural solid waste sourced from the palm oil industry in tropical regions. This study investigates the use of OPBC as coarse aggregate instead of conventional coarse aggregates to produce a greener concrete, which will help in implementing sustainable const...
