The use of palm kernel shell (PKS) has gained acceptance in the production concrete. Compressive strength is mostly used characteristics compressive CS concrete should provide a good basis for predicting splitting tensile STS. aim this study to establish mathematical relationship between and STS produced with PKS. In study, coarse aggregates was fully replaced PKS at varying water-cement ratios...

Oil palm shells (OPS) are mechanical waste that is utilized as coarse aggregates in lightweight concrete. These OPS have shape and strength like conventional yet the substantial made with these invigorates a limit of 18 MPa. The characteristic which must be structures seen to around 25 MPa 30 Considering one boundaries for design sturdy, surface-covered nanosilane compound. This covering goes a...

Introduction. Experimental studies of crack formation and limit equilibrium a reinforced concrete floor slab-shell, developed by the authors, were carried out. Materials methods . The out on models made scale 1:5. Results. During tests, three stages stress-strain state established: first is elastic stage tensile work in lower part longitudinal contour ribs; second opening cracks; third destruct...
