Structural Behaviour of Palm Oil Shell Reinforced Concrete Beams

Abstract

In this present research examination on the flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams formed as of natural aggregates Palm Oil Shells (POS) are replacing in coarse aggregates (C.A). Replacing of C.A with POS in concrete making not simply solve the complexity of disposing of this solid misuse and also helps protect natural resources. To reduce Co₂ emissions from the cement industry, the cement is partially replaced with GGBS -ground granulated blast furnace slag and POFA - palm oil fuel ash and adding 0.5% Glass fibers (G.F) to the volume of the concrete to increase ductility properties.   A total of 3 –different types of beams through varying dimensions were fictional and experienced under four-point bending. Data accessible includes deflection characteristics, Ductility Index. The investigation related to flexural actions of fiber-reinforced POS concrete be equivalent to the natural concrete and the new results compare sensibly fine with the Indian code of exercise.
