Effect of Curing Regime on Compressive Strength of Aerated Concrete Containing Palm Oil Fuel Ash as Partial Sand Replacement

Effect of Curing Regime on Compressive Strength of Aerated Concrete Containing Palm Oil Fuel Ash as Partial Sand Replacement

Issues on preservation of natural river sand from being used excessively in concrete industry has led to the efforts of utilizing palm oil fuel ash, a by-product from palm oil industry as partial sand replacement in production of aerated concrete. This paper reports the effect of curing regime on co...
