Lightweight concrete made from crushed oil palm shell: tensile strength and effect of initial curing on compressive strength

Oil palm shell (OPS) is a waste lightweight aggregate originating from the palm oil industry, which is approximately 50 lighter than conventional aggregate. In this study, crushed old OPS was used as coarse aggregate. Compressive strength under different curing conditions and the splitting tensile a...
