The effect of hardened properties of mortar containing palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as partial sand replacement / Nur Shafiqah Md Sa’at
The necessity of natural resource which is sand for construction industry due to the rapid growth of urbanization and industrialization in Malaysia has led to serious environmental pollution resulting from growing activities in sand mining. Palm oil fuel ash (POFA) is a waste product generated by pa...

The cylinder specimens were cast and undergoes curing process up to 3, 7 and 28 days before tensile splitting testing, water absorption and porosity testing. Outcome of this study shows that the higher amount of POFA in the mortar reduces the strength and durability of the mortar. However, it was noted that 5% of POFA is the optimum amount to be used as partial sand replacement which can enhance the performance of mortar strength and durability. 2020-09 Student Project NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/39900/1/39900.pdf Md Sa’at, Nur Shafiqah (2020) The effect of hardened properties of mortar containing palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as partial sand replacement / Nur Shafiqah Md Sa’at.
