The use of Oil Palm Shell (OPS) as coarse aggregate is a cost-effective approach in the production of structural lightweight concrete. The aim of this book is to investigate the time-dependent deflection performance of palm shell aggregate concrete beams for the period of four months sustained loading condition. Both experimental and theoretical studies are carried out on 1.5m long beams to investigate their structural behavior. Factors affecting the short and time-dependent deflections of palm shell aggregate concrete beams are employed in this book. The experimental results are compared...
