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) as a replacement of cement and replacing fine aggregate with Oil Palm clinker (OPC) with different proportions. The test results for workability of concrete, Mechanical properties, durability properties, Micro structural analysis and Flexural behavior of beams are carried to produce sustainable light weight concrete for 7, 28 & 56 days of curing period. The results obtained and observations made clearly demonstrate that the replacement of cement and fine aggregates by Oil Palm waste is advantageous, partially for mass concrete.
