Properties of concrete with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coated oil palm shell (OPS) as aggregate

Malaysia is the world's second largest palm oil producer which has also subsequently produced a massive amount of by-product. This is evident where the generation of waste oil palm shell (OPS) reached approximately 4.8 million tons in 2010. There is a rise in enviromental concerns on the volume...
