Investigation of the Use of Palm Bunch Ash as a Partial Replacement for Cement in Concrete Production
Abstract
This study investigates the use of palm bunch ash as a partial replacement for cement in concrete production. The palm bunch ash was collected, dried, and burnt to produce a pozzolanic material, which was then blended with ordinary Portland cement to produce a pozzolana Portland cement. The concrete mixes were designed using the British standard for concrete mix design, and the workability and compressive strength of the concrete were determined. The results show that the palm bunch ash can be used as a partial replacement for cement in concrete production, but the workability and compressive strength of the concrete decrease as the percentage of palm bunch ash increases. The optimal percentage of palm bunch ash replacement for cement in concrete production needs to be determined, taking into account the benefits and drawbacks of using palm bunch ash as a partial replacement for cement.
Keywords
