The present study focused on enhancing properties of unground palm oil fuel ash (UPOFA) mortars by incorporation of nanosilica (NS). To do so, 0.5–1.5% NS was admixed in each series of 10–30% UPOFA, respectively. The results revealed that incorporating NS offset the adverse effect of UPOFA on flowab...
