    • Interlocking concrete block pavement (ICBP) made with coconut fiber 

      Siti Aisyah, Ismail (Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2012-04)
      Lately there are many new products that are produced using waste materials, especially to produce construction materials. Use of other waste to avoid pollution of the environment can also reduce costs. Since 1984, Interlocking ...

    • Lightweight fly ash-based geopolymer concrete 

      Omar A., Abdulkareem; Mohd Mustafa Al Bakri, Abdullah; Kamarudin, Hussin, Brig. Jen. Dato' Prof. Dr.; Khairul Nizar, Ismail, Prof. Madya Dr. (Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
      The experiments of this study were preformed to study the synthesis process for lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) using normal sand as a fine aggregate and expanded clay as lightweight aggregate. The LWAGC ...

    • Preliminary study on concrete with Polystrene waste coarse aggregate
