The inevitable existence of microcracks in concrete matrix can create interconnected flow paths due to external load, which will then provide easy access to harmful substances, and thus yielding to corrosion of reinforcement. Consequently, this affects the durability...

The purpose of this study was to develop porous concrete with acceptable permeability and strength using recycled aggregate from waste crushed concrete. The optimum mix proportions were employed to prepare porous concretes using normal and recycled aggregates. Tests...

Being a plant with open cellulose structure, such potential has gone untapped due to its tendency to take up excessive resin during the mixing process. Hence, this paper presents the potential of utilizing an agricultural waste; palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as...

Nowadays, due to environmental concerns and financial problems of synthetic fibers, natural fibers or bio-fibers are interesting to be used as reinforcement fibers in polymer composites for structural elements and construction materials. Chemical surface modification...
