Mix Design: Effect of Mixing Constituents towards Palm Oil Clinker Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

Use of waste materials as substitutes in the production of concrete that improve some important properties of the hardened lightweight aggregate concrete such as mechanical and durability properties are grabbing the researchers’ attention nowadays. This is due to lightweight aggregate concrete low d...

Civil engineering (General) Use of waste materials as substitutes in the production of concrete that improve some important properties of the hardened lightweight aggregate concrete such as mechanical and durability properties are grabbing the researchers’ attention nowadays.

Palm oil clinker, one of the by-product produced abundantly from palm oil industry is dumped as waste without any profitable value which caused negative effects to the environment.

In this research, a by-product from palm oil industry called as palm oil clinker was used as conventional aggregate replacement in concrete mixture.

As a conclusion, recycling this palm oil waste not only helps reduce the huge amount of global palm oil waste sent for disposal, but also helps conserve natural resources by replacing the need for virgin materials.
