Water absorption and sorptivity of normal strength oil palm shell concrete
Oil palm shell (OPS) was found to have the potential to be used as a mixing ingredient in concrete based on the attempts made by researchers to explore the potential of the palm oil industry by-products to be used in concrete industry. The attempts also made with the aim to reduce the amount of natu...
