| Summary: | As Malaysia will focus on biotechnology field
as indicated in Ninth Malaysian Plan (RMK9) will bring
tremendous effects to the local palm oil industry which
also produces palm oil clinker as its waste by-product.
This paper will studied the suitability of palm oil clinker
to be used as coarse and fine aggregate for palm oil
clinker concrete production. The parameters studied
includes sieve analysis, specific gravity, moisture content,
water adsorption, bulk density, aggregate impact value,
crushing aggregate value, etc. Another local waste
material from coal combustion, pulverized fuel ash (pfa)
which react as pozzolanic material which have been
proved by previous researchers as cement replacement
in concrete mix proportioning to enhance the concrete
properties also been studied for its physical properties.
This study includes consistency of cement-fly ash paste,
initial and final setting of different proportion of cementfly
ash paste as well as the specific gravity of fly ash. All
parameters for local palm oil clinker and pulverized fly
ash were conducted and measured according to British
Standard. All parameters were analyzed and compared
to the values that been proposed by British Standard.
The results given by the palm oil clinker and fly ash were
found to be in good agreement with the concrete testing
values for structural use. |
