ABSTRACT
Oil-palm-boiler clinker
(OPBC) is an agricultural solid waste sourced from the palm
oil industry in tropical regions. This study investigates the use
of OPBC
as coarse aggregate instead of conventional coarse
aggregates to produce a greener concrete, which will help in implementing
sustainable construction practices by reducing the usage of raw
materials. For this purpose, normal weight coarse aggregates was
substituted with dry OPBC
aggregates up to 75% (by volume) in a high strength
normal weight concrete. The effectiveness of this substitution on
the properties of the concrete such as workability, density, compressive
strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity was
studied. The slump test results showed that using OPBC in dry condition reduced the workability of the concrete
and therefore can be used up to 50% of the total volume of coarse
aggregate. Concrete containing 50% OPBC can be considered as semi-lightweight
concrete with high strength. Using OPBC in
concrete reduced the splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity,
however, the reduction was not significant.

ABSTRAK
Klinker dandang kelapa-sawit
(OPBC) adalah sisa pepejal pertanian yang diperoleh daripada
industri kelapa sawit di kawasan tropika. Penyelidikan ini mengkaji
penggunaan OPBC sebagai agregat kasar dan bukan sebagai agregat kasar
konvensional untuk penghasilan konkrit lebih hijau yang akan membantu
dalam melaksanakan amalan pembinaan mampan dengan mengurangkan penggunaan
bahan mentah. Bagi tujuan ini, berat normal agregat kasar digantikan
dengan agregat OPBC
kering sehingga 75% (isi padu) dalam konkrit kekuatan
tinggi berat normal. Keberkesanan penggantian ini pada sifat konkrit
kebolehkerjaan, ketumpatan, kekuatan mampatan, kekuatan pemecahbelahan
tegangan dan modulus keanjalan turut dikaji. Keputusan ujian nendat
menunjukkan bahawa penggunaan OPBC
dalam keadaan kering mengurangkan kebolehkerjaan konkrit
dan oleh yang demikian, OPBC boleh digunakan sehingga 50% daripada
jumlah bilangan agregat kasar. Konkrit yang mengandungi 50% OPBC
boleh dianggap sebagai konkrit yang separa ringan
dengan kekuatan tinggi. Penggunaan OPBC dalam konkrit mengurangkan kekuatan
pemecahbelahan tegangan dan modulus keanjalan, walau bagaimanapun,
pengurangan adalah tidak ketara.
