Ductile behaviour of oil palm shell concrete slabs subjected to blast loads

Oil palm shell (OPS) is an industrial waste material abundantly available in Malaysia and other South East Asian countries. It has high aggregate impact resistance characteristics and hence its capability to withstand blast load was tested through OPS concrete (OPSC) slabs designed and developed in...
