The reduction of the concrete strength is closely related with reduction of present of coarse aggregate in concrete mixing. 2014-06 Undergraduates Project Papers NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/9822/1/MOHAMAD%20ALLIF%20BIN%20MOHAMED%20%23.PDF Mohamad Allif, Mohamed (2014) Suitability of pet as an alternative for partial coarse aggregate replacement.
