Investigation of green foamed concrete incorporating palm oil fuel ash and eggshell ash as partial cement replacement

The tendency of concrete to absorb heat, high thermal conductivity and self-weight due to its high density, and its extensive use has given rise to Urban Heat Island (UHI). Therefore, this study was carried out to provide a solution to these limitations by developing innovative lightweight green foa...

Therefore, this study was carried out to provide a solution to these limitations by developing innovative lightweight green foamed concrete (GFC) of 1800 kg/m3 density incorporating Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) ranging from 20% to 35% and Eggshell Ash (ESA) from 5% to 15% as partial cement replacement.
