Self healing concrete crack by using pulverized fuel ash (PFA) as cement replacement material

Nowadays the high demand of cement is an indication of development especially for the construction industry. Therefore, it is needed an alternative way in fulfill this situation. Many researches were developed in order to find suitable material to be used as a replacement for cement such as palm...
