“…Aluminum powder was used as a pore-foaming agent which reacts with calcium hydroxide to form hydrogen gas (gas bubbles) in cement slurry. The reaction in making aerated concrete was as follow [22] as shown in Equation (1 respectively were employed in all agro-industry aerated concrete. Superplasticizer was being introduced as admixtures as it may add fluidity to the concrete while less water is being used.…”

“…In the world of urbanization, lightweight concrete has become a perfect product as construction materials since it offers advantages such as light in densities ranging from 1000 to 1600 kg/m 3 , having a great fire protection, good in thermal and sound insulations compared to normal weight concrete [1]. Normally aerated concrete consists of a mixture of sand, lime, cement, gypsum, water, and an expanding agent [15].…”

Abstract. The present paper is aiming to provide an actual state of the development of non autoclaved Agro-Industrial aerated concrete by using multiple ashes as improvement of thermal behavior for building. The feasibility of Agro-Industrial wastes as lightweight concrete by utilizing the Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) as binder replacement and bottom ash as fine aggregate was investigated in this paper. Portland cement, bottom ash, aluminum powder and lime (Ca(OH)2) were used in this study. The POFA was used to replace Portland cement and Hydrated Lime at 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% by weight and aluminum powder was added at 0.75% dry weight in order to form bubbles. The compressive strength, water absorption, porosity and the thermal conductivity test were carried out after the concrete were water cured for 7 days and later being exposed to the air and water until 28days. The results show that the 20% replacements give the optimum strength of 7.143MPa and 30% give the best thermal conductivity with 0.48W/mK. Hence, this study aim, was to develop an agro-industrial aerated concrete good in insulation but having an optimum strength. Hence, it has been found that the more the percentage of POFA is added the lower the thermal conductivity since the pore structure is increasing and by the optimization done, 30% replacement has been chosen as the best mix design for Agro-Industrial Aerated Concrete.

“…The lowest water requirement was needed in OP25 due to the effectiveness of the super-plasticiser addition. The increased water requirement to achieve the required spread is due to the shape and nature of the OPA particle [1]. The angular and irregular shaped OPA particle would require more water to lubricate its surface.…”

“…It is generated by the incineration of oil palm shell and palm oil empty fruit bunch at a temperature of 800Cº to 1000Cº as a mean of heating up the mill's boilers instead of using conventional fuels. Due to this incineration process, ash is produced at about 5% by weight of the incinerated solid fuels [1]. Malaysia alone produces around 4 million tonnes of OPA annually [2].…”

Abstract-Oil palm ash (OPA) is a waste material produced by countries having a blooming palm oil industry. Increasing palm oil production, the quantities of OPA continue to increase. However, its utilisation remains minimal and most of it is disposed of in landfills, causing environmental hazards. This study investigated the strength of foamed concrete incorporating sieved only OPA as a partial cement replacement. A foamed concrete mix of 1 part binder and 2 parts filler with a plastic density of 1450 kg/m 3 has been used. Cement is replaced by OPA at replacement levels of 25 to 65% by weight of binder. Compressive, tensile splitting and flexural strengths have been investigated at the ages of 7, 14, 28 and 56 days. A foamed concrete mix with a 25% OPA content showed superior strengths than those exhibited by the control mix, hence, producing a greener and cheaper foamed concrete.

“…The study indicated that the optimum replacement of Ordinary Portland cement with ultrafine palm oil fuel ash was less than 25% in order to achieve desired compressive strength and agreed that the ultrafine palm oil fuel ash were able to be a good pozzolans in green ultrahigh performance fiber reinforced concrete with good engineering properties which can save the cost and contribute to sustainability in concrete industry. As well as the study of lightweight foam concrete incorporating palm oil fuel ash as filler investigated by Lim et al [46] found the increment in compressive, tensile and flexural strength when 10% to 20% of palm oil fuel ash were replaced in the lightweight foamed concrete compared to sample with 100% of sand filler. 18 Meanwhile, Muntohar and Rahman [47] made lightweight masonry block from palm oil kernel shell.…”

Abstract. The growth of industrialization and development of urban life made an increase in demand for cement, concrete and bricks. Exploitation on the non-renewable natural resources for raw materials will keep increased in order to meet the demands for construction materials. At the same time, the problems regarding the agricultural crop wastes such as rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, palm oil fuel waste and elephant grass has become an important issue nowadays. Consequently, there are many researchers who have been studying the viability of using these agricultural wastes as construction materials to meet the industry demands in order to decrease the current use of non-renewable natural resources. This paper reviewing on how agricultural waste could be utilized as replacement materials for construction activities from various researchers. The idea of using agricultural crop wastes was promoted by studying upon their engineering properties. This paper focusing on the compressive strength of the construction materials containing agricultural crop wastes, which was the common parameter considered by most researcher as required by various standards.
