Abstrait:

Lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) is recognised for its high flowability, minimal utilization of aggregates and superior heat insulation properties. LFC is excellent under compression but poor in tensile stress, as it produces multiple microcracks. LFC cannot withstand the tensile stress induced by applied forces without additional reinforcing elements. Hence, this study was conducted to examine the potential utilisation of oil palm mesocarp fibre (OPMF) reinforced LFC in terms of its mechanical properties. Two densities, 600kg/m³ and 1200kg/m³, were cast and tested with six different percentages of OPMF, which were 0.15%, 0.30%, 0.45% and 0.60%. The parameters evaluated were compressive strength, flexural strength and tensile strength. The results revealed that the inclusion of 0.45% of OPMF in LFC helps to give the best results for the compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength. The OPMF facilitated to evade the promulgation of cracks in the plastic state in the cement matrix when the load was applied
