Strength Properties of Structural Concrete Using Palm Kernel Shells
ISBN-13: 9783659816772 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 236 str.
The use of Palm Kernel Shells (PKS) as coarse aggregate in concrete has continuously received increasing attention among researchers, especially in Africa, in the last three decades. This is primarily due to its environmental and economic benefits. However, while considerable amount of research has been carried out to assist in understanding its concrete mix designs and associated mechanical properties, a limited amount of works have been carried out to assist in the current understanding with respect to its shear resistance. This book provide in-depth insight into the shear strength properties of PKS reinforced concrete beams and two-way slabs to assist designers and contractors in the use of PKS aggregates for structural application. This book further provided information on the adequacy or otherwise of the design provisions in the BS 8110, ACI 318 and EC 2 in predicting the shear capacity of PKS concrete beams with and without shear reinforcement. This book will serve as a major source of reference to Engineering students, Civil Engineers and Contractors in the countries where Palm Kernel Shells are produced for concrete production to achieve a low cost construction.
