Strength Properties Of Oil Palm Clinker Concrete

Abstract

Tire paper summarises the results of a research project on the utilization of oil palm clinker as lightweight aggregate in concrete. Oil palm clinker is a waste by-product in an oil palm processing mill.The test results indicate that the short-term strength properties of oil palrn clinker concrete are about the same as the properties of normal aggregate concrete. The advamage is it's weight reduced by 20%. The disadvantage is oil palm clinker has a high percentage of sulphate content.
