Experimental Study on Sustainable Light Weight Concrete Incorporating with Oil Palm Industrial WasteBy Likhitha Gurram, Durga Chaitanya Kumar Jagarapu
Abstract: In present days a very huge number of raw materials are used by the construction sector which releases very large amount of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) into the environment. To avoid such problems research should be focused on sustainable materials, among which Oil Palm industrial waste that can be used in concrete. The main purpose of this research is to utilize the palm oil fuel ash (POFA) …

Experimental Study on Mechanical and Durability Properties of Concrete Using Mineral AdmixturesBy Likhitha Gurram, Durga Chaitanya Kumar Jagarapu, Arunchaitanya Sambangi, Chiranjeevi Rahul Rollakanti, Shalin Princ, B. Sarath Chandra Kumar
Abstract: This study explores the partial replacement of OPC with Fly Ash (FA), Rice Husk Ash (RHA), Glass Powder (GP), Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) at varying percentages of 10%, 20%, 30% with the addition of 1% chemical admixture with water-cement ratio of 0.45. The influence of these replacements on the fresh properties, mechanical and durability properties is evaluated at 7, 28, and 56 days of curing. The results indicate that …
