Abstract
Abstract
The applicability of green concrete in the construction industry makes it a favoured topic among researchers in many countries, including Malaysia. The development of this innovative green concrete is made of waste material as one of its constituents. Palm oil fuel ash (POFA) is one of the agricultural wastes, which is the product of burnt palm oil husk and palm kernel shells in a palm oil mill boiler. POFA negatively impacts the environment and health because it is abundantly disposed of in landfills without any commercial value. This paper reviews the potential and innovative incorporation of grinding POFA into concrete as a cement replacement to make it more sustainable. This research highlighted the influence of Nano-POFA (NaPOFA) on the production of Self Consolidating High-Strength Concrete (SCHSC) through an experimental study. NaPOFA is prepared using high-energy milling and introduced as cement replacement from 1–10%. The evaluation of NaPOFA is divided into four categories: physical properties using a particle size analyser, fresh properties using a flow table test, mechanical properties using a compressive strength test, and supported using microscope imaging.
