Using ANN, the multi-dimensional six acceleration readings were given as input and the same mapped to a single output of concrete strength. Microstructure and failure behaviour metal fibre reinforced composite. It is concluded that both PKSC and PSC satisfied the compressive strength and tensile strength requirement of light weight concrete, although PS has better gradation and bonding to cement than PKS. This paper presents the results on the structural behavior of palm kernel shell concrete and its comparison with normal weight concrete (NWC). Several lightweight oil palm clinker concrete beams were designed and tested according to British standard Code of Practices. Wan Zainal Abiddin Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Cawangan Pulau Pinang ABSTRACT Concrete, the most common material in the construction industry, is regarded as a composite material composed of water, cement, fine and coarse aggregates. Rate of strength development of geocement concrete under ambient and accelerated curing conditions is important to the construction industry. Lightweight Concrete (LC) class 22 and 38, then cured for 28 and 90 days. To obtain good concrete, the placing of an appropriate For comparison, four reinforced normal weight concrete (NWC) beams were also cast. [11] looked at the behaviour of LWC. Otherwise, the compressive strength of concrete is defined as the maximum crushing stress endured by the concrete. Further, the ultimate experimental bond stress of OPKSC was found nearly 21/2 times higher than the theoretical values calculated based on BS standards. available and affordable by the low income groups in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. The results for the compressive strength showed that the strength increases with age for both aggregates. �R{d�����oo� �* K�B�Vo(�ZF0j�5u�I�Y(��V��� Some applications use higher strengths, greater than 10,000 psi (70 MPa). syZuy�.�R=����8kuM� The PKSC beams exhibited higher deflection under constant load until failure, compared to NWC beams that failed in brittle manner without warning. Introduction All concrete requires curing in order that cement hydration can proceed so as to allow for development of strength, durability and other mechanical characteristics. and 18.22 N/mm2 Compressive strength gained with time by samples, were not directly It is recommended that the mix-ratio should be altered to get higher values of compressive strength; and both PKS and PS should be used for lightweight concretes. The specified design slump was between This research was conducted on a set of low and medium strength concrete, This article reports on a research carried out to assess the effects of manufactured sand in concrete, produced with palm 16.1N/mm2 This study therefore investigates the performance of palm kernel shells (PKS) and periwinkle shells (PS) as alternatives coarse aggregates in concrete. 5.1 Care must be exercised in the interpretation of the significance of compressive strength determinations by this test method since strength is not a fundamental or intrinsic property of concrete made from given materials. That is compressive strength of M25 at 28 days; with 0% glass fiber is 31.54N/mm 2 , with 0.5 % is 35.66N/mm 2 , with 1% is 42.87N/mm 2 , with 1.5% is 43.22N/mm 2 and with 2% is 42.00N/mm 2. Falade et al. The structural grade palm kernel shell concrete, a lightweight concrete (LWC) produced using palm kernel shell (PKS) an agricultural waste and by-product of the production of palm oil as lightweight aggregate, referred to hereafter as PKSC. This implies that PS is best suited as replacement for granite in lightweight concrete than PKS. Using Coconut Shell And Palm Kernel Shell As Coarse Aggregate, Building Environment, 2008, and Ata, O., A Comparative Study of Concrete Properties The OPSFC has a target density of approximately 1600 kg/m(3) and a 28-day compressive strength of about 20 MPa. 3 (2) – June 2012 Statistical Modelling and Prediction of Compressive Strength of Concrete Mahmoud Sayed-Ahmedc Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Architecture & Science Ryerson University, CANADA Abstract The matrix mixture of concrete can be made to have high compressive strength. This article presents an investigation on the optimization of structural lightweight concrete by replacing crushed stones with palm kernel shells, in manufactured sand. higher values for the periwinkle and lower for the palm kernel. Characteristic strength of the concrete is designated as the compressive strength of a concrete sample that has been cured for 28 days and is determined by the Higher strengths up to and exceeding 10,000 psi (70 MPa) are specified for certain applications. 1.0. These have intermediate insulation values. Strength is usually determined by means of test cylinders made of fresh concrete … Compressive Strength Test on Concrete Cubes: A Review N.B. for PWS of 2.85 to 7.35 MPa for 0.6 w/c ratio light weight concrete. The concrete was designed using British Building the compressive strength of concrete. International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR). This article belongs to the evaluation and mechanical properties of concrete. Compressive Strength of Concrete Cubes - Lab Test & Procedure The parameters that were measured are: compressive strength, density and bond characteristics of the concrete matrix. Excessive usage of materials is causing fast depletion of natural stone deposit. The flexural behavior of under-reinforced concrete beams of grade 30 concrete has been studied and the results are compared with NWC beams which were also designed as grade 30 and under-reinforced similar to that of the PKSC beams. In addition, the mode of failure observed in PKSC was ductile compared to the brittle failure of NWC beams. Concrete compressive strength for general construction varies from 15 MPa (2200 psi) to 30 MPa (4400 psi) and higher in commercial and industrial structures.

Basic Strength Properties of lightweight Concrete Using Agricultural Wastes as Aggregates, Abdullah, A.A., Basic Strength Properties of lightweight Concrete Using Agricultural Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis on palm kernel shell (PKS) was conducted. It is intended to be a supplement to reading the ASTM as well as a study tool for the ACI exam. It also showed good sound absorption capacity and low thermal conductivity. Lightweight concrete containing periwinkle shells is only suitable for structures that will be subjected to temperature less than 300oC. Two concrete classes were designed and on 4.75mm. After preparing the ends, a compressive axial load will be applied to the samples at a continuous rate until failure occurs. Number of specimens was over 800 received from various construction projects of controlled concrete quality and tested by the Hawler Construction Laboratories (HCLabs) in Erbil, Kurdistan Prediction of compressive strength of concrete from early age test result M.

INTRODUCTION Compressive strength of concrete is determined by testing concrete cubes of size 150mm x 150 mm x 150 mm. Assume a slab at our site is designed to cast M25 grade of concrete, but we could not define its strength in the semi-solid state. The standard deviation serves as the basis for control of variability in the test results of concrete for the same batch of concrete. The coarse aggregate portions which were replaced by palm kernel shells(PKS) at 25% interval, from 0-100%. For light weight structural concrete, optimization in workability and compressive strength is guaranteed at; crushed stones content being 23% in volumetric quantity of palm kernel shells. Keywords: Concrete, Curing methods, Density, Compressive strength. Similar grade concrete using NWC were also prepared and reinforced. Similarly, compressive strength of M25 after 28 days also increases with the addition of glass fiber. gMm&�D�7R��6����Nj����hQ�(@��>j~�7�� y(X;y���%:��M�Z���gM��E�$OQ#����h �j�*��J�4����TGtuw=�FQj�j��- g���3��3��^�� �94�\��� g�^ �Qi.�2V�37�*Ù[@�̓@���.PY8� *�D�9<2 ��J�N$�@�1�>�A��(Hu*��|d�%���KQ+����J��Dn��f���� The mineral admixtures uniformly filled the micro-pores on the outer surface of PKS.
