Exploratory Study of Rubber Seed Shell as Partial Coarse Aggregate Replacement in Concrete

Malaysia being a major rubber trees growing country has been generating a large amount of rubber seed shell which regarded as waste. At the same time, the growing construction industry which boosts the concrete production trade has results in higher consumption of natural coarse aggregate which op...
