Coarse aggregate is considered as the most important component, which provides volume
as well as strength to the concrete. It is mainly obtained from natural resources by quarrying …

Aggregates are mined on a larger scale leading to the depletion of mountains and
ecosystem. Cleaner production of artificial stone aggregates from industrial waste is an …

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and its associated deformation are major durability problems in
concrete structures and was reported as far back as the 1940s by Stanton (2008)[1]. This …

Abstract Huge quantities of Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) are produced as wastes annually due
to increase in demand for palm oil. Regardless of the numerous potential derivatives from …

Increase in construction activities has led to rapid depletion of natural resources, particularly
aggregates which are utilized in the production of concrete. At the same time, there are huge …

Due to the high costs of traditional concrete materials in Nigeria, such as river sand, there is
an increasing demand to explore alternative materials like laterite for fine aggregates …

This study explores the enhancement of mechanical properties in concrete blended with
palm oil fuel ash (POFA) through Scheffe's optimization. The utilization of POFA as …

This research investigated fresh and hardened properties of lightweight self-compacting
concrete (LWSCC) incorporated with oil palm shell (OPS) and fly ash (FA). Fresh concrete …

Alkali silica reaction (ASR), commonly referred to as “concrete cancer”, is a major durability
problem in concrete structures. ASR is a chemical reaction that occurs between the reactive …

This study aims to identify effective methods for utilizing the percentage of waste laterite
scraps as coarse aggregate through the optimization of performance-based sustainable …
