Effect of addition of filler material to the natural fiber composite was experimentally investigated. Composites are manufactured by the conventional hand-layup method. All composites are made with a fixed banana fiber with 15% weight fraction addition of different weight fraction of (0, 3, 5, 7.5%) groundnut shell ash is added to the composite. Tensile, hardness, impact and compressive strengt...

Groundnut and Melon husks (shell) were collected from the market side in Kaduna metropolis, Kaduna State and milled into powder for proximate and anti-nutritional analysis. The results of proximate analysis showed that groundnut shell contained moisture content, ash content, crude fibre, lipid, crude protein, carbohydrate, oxalate, phytate, cyanogenic glycosides and trypsin inhibitor are 8.0%, ...

The physico-chemical characteristics as well as chemical composition of Arachis hypogaea shell (AHS) ash were evaluated by different techniques such as X-Ray fluorescence, X-Ray diffraction and thermo-gravimetry. The material, which is considered a by-product obtained from Groundnut shelling, was investigated as a potential fertilizer, energy source and as animal feeds. And this will provide a ...

An investigation on the effect of sisal fiber partially replaced cement with Groundnut Shell Ash in Concrete was carried out. Sisal 3.5cm length which forms 1% mix by weight groundnut shell ash as a partial replacement for used preparing concrete specimen. Compressive strength test out using 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% at different curing ages 7, 14, 21 28 days. It observed that 7 14days...

The effect of storage time on some properties of groundnut shell briquette with 5, 10, 15 and 20% binder (cassava gel) was studied. The briquettes were prepared using a motorized briquetting machine. The moisture content, durability rating, water penetration, calorific value and the ash content were determined after every 30 days for 6 months. The results reveals that the moisture content of br...

Abstract. The analysis of GSA for the stabilization soil samples is subject this research paper. In recent years, techniques have been effective in improving shear strength parameters poor soils. a naturally occurring substance that causes human health and environmental issues. Physical properties were calculated, including Atterberg's limits, compaction characteristics, characteristics virgin ...

Groundnut is an important cash crop produced in large quantity North-Western Nigeria. The production of ground nut reached its peak Nigeria during the period 1969 to 1980s, when approximately 1.7 million tonnes pods were from area 1.9 hectares. This enormous waste presently not being harnessed productively other than burning, which a major air pollution and indiscriminate dumping that cause env...

Concrete is frequently utilized infra-structural construction material all over the world. Cement main part of concrete, during its manufacturing emission gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) from cement factories create greenhouse effect. In these days various natural pozzolanic materials are used partial replacement to enhance strength and durability reduction in consumption consequently emissi...
