Study of optimum compressive strength of palm kernel shell …
2013. Palm kernel shell (PKS) is a solid waste and a by- product from processing palm nuts to produce palm oils. Palm kernel shell is non toxic, inert, bio -renewable, abundantly available, strong, stiff, lightweight and corrosion resistant Most coarse aggregates are from quarries which are expensive to produce.

Characteristics of Concrete Produced With Periwinkle …
Palm kernel shell (PKS) is the hard endocarp of palm kernel fruit that surrounds the palm seed. It is obtained as crushed pieces after threshing or crushing to remove the seed, which is used in the production of palm kernel oil (Olutoge, 1995). PKS is light and can be ideal for substitution as aggregate in the production of concrete.

Mixture Proportioning for Oil Palm Kernel Shell
Oil palm kernel shell (OPKS) is an organic lightweight aggregate (LWA) used as coarse aggregate in tropical countries for concrete in low-cost buildings. Concrete mixture proportioning is used to calculate the quantities of different constituents required to achieve different properties. For LWA concrete with mineral aggregate, there exist mix design methods …

Effect of saponification-based treatment of palm kernel shell
This paper presents a method of treatment of Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) aggregates to remove the oil that inhibits the development of strength in PKS concrete. 13 treatments from 2 to 20 g/L concentration of solutions of potassium hydroxide were used to induce a saponification reaction with the oil present on the PKS surface.
