ABSTRACT:
Light weight concrete using oil palm shell(OPS) is a new method to produce high strength light weight aggregate .
It uses the oil palm shell as a aggregate for preparing the concrete.
The main reason is to reduce the overall load or weight of the entire concrete structure ,which allows to reduce the size of the columns, footings and load bearing elements.
This method is based on the crushing large old OPS, crush OPS are strong and have a strong physical bond with hydrated cement paste.
In this we showed that the workability and dry density of the oil palm shell concrete increase with an increase in age category of OPS species.
