| Summary: | In recent years, many researches had been conducted to observe the performance of
oil palm shell concrete. Oil palm shell is a natural lightweight material to replace
coarse aggregate in concrete. Utilizing of oil palm shell as coarse aggregate not only
can reduce the construction cost but also reduce the pollution problem due to palm
shell waste. This study aims to investigate the flexural and time dependent behavior
of palm shell aggregate concrete beam. In this laboratory work, two reinforced palm
shell aggregate concrete beams were cast. Flexural and time dependent behavior of
the beams was studied by applied increasing load and sustained load on the beams
respectively. The report focus on the deflection results on these two beams. The
experimental results were compared with the theoretical results. Overall results
indicated that, oil palm shell can considered as a good replacement of coarse
aggregate in concrete because it does not deflect very much under sustained load
after a long time. |
