Mechanical properties of oil palm waste lightweight aggregate concrete with fly ash as fine aggregate replacement

Environmental degradation posed by fly ash (FA) disposal from coal power plants and shell from the oil palm fruit processing trade is non-trivial. The destruction of flora and fauna resulting from the extraction of river sand and granite aggregate from the green hills in an uncontrolled fashion for...
