Effect of water to cement ratio to the mechanical properties of oil palm shell lightweight concrete

Oil palm shell (OPS) is a waste material that is obtained by crushing the palm nut in the palm oil mills during the extraction of palm oil. Replacing coarse aggregate with OPS in concrete is one of the way to optimize the use of natural waste material. In this research, crushed OPS was used to repla...
