The development of cement composites reinforced coconut fiber with fly ash addition: mechanical properties and fracture behaviour
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
This research paper presents a study on the development of cement composites reinforced coconut fiber with fly ash addition. Various content of coconut fiber (3 wt. %, 6 wt. %, 9 wt. %, 12 wt. % and 15 wt. %) was added to ...
The effects of fly ash and polystyrene bead additions on compressive strength of foamed cement composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
The effects of both additions of fly ash and polystyrene (PS) beads were studied on compressive strength of foamed cement composites. The increasing amount of fly ash addition up to 6 wt. % has been found to increase the ...
Effects of fly ash addition on compressive strength and flexural strength of foamed cement composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
In this study, the mixing of polystyrene (PS) beads and fly ash as a sand replacement material in foamed cement composites (FCC) has been investigated. Specifically, the mechanical properties such as compressive strength ...
Study of concrete using modified polystyrene coarse aggregate
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Polymer recycling has received a great deal of attention in recent years. At the present time, small percentages of polymer wastes in Malaysia are being recycled. The recycling process has typically consisted of reprocessing ...
Design, processing and characterization of fly ash-based geopolymers for lightweight concrete application
(Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), 2013-04)
The mix design of geopolymers plays important role in obtaining desirable compressive strength. Optimum mix design of geopolymers can be applied for application, such as lightweight concrete. In order to determine the ...
Comparison of geopolymer fly ash and ordinary Portland cement to the strength of concrete
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-12)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of various fly ash: aggregate ratios by using fly ash (FA) based geopolymer compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) on the compressive strength of concrete. The different ...
Effect of palm slag filler size on the mechanical and wear properties of brake pad composites
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)
Particle size of filler and other material that involved in brake pad composites are expected to be able to strongly influence the wear properties and performance. Palm slag as a filler in brake pad was investigated in ...
Microstructure studies on the effect of the alkaline activators of fly ash-based geopolymer at elevated heat treatment temperature
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Fly ash-based geopolymers are new binding materials produced to replace the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) used in concrete. In this research, the effect of alkaline activators on the compressive strength and the microstructure ...
Review on the various ash from palm oil waste as geopolymer material
(Advanced Study Center Co. Ltd., 2013)
The solid waste from palm oil mill industry has been increasing annually where it has been reported that the palm oil waste was produced 4 million tons/years in Malaysia only. Hence, the solution to overcome the problems ...
