Thermal Properties of Oil Palm Shell Lightweight Concrete with Different Mix Designs 

This study investigated the use of oil palm shell as an additive for use in concrete. As the construction industry searches for methods to increase sustainability, using by-products produced by other industries to reduce the amount of cement required to produce concrete has become more popular, Oil palm shell is available in large quantities as an industrial waste product, is lightweight, and has the potential to help with thermal insulation. ...

Moisture fixation and thermal properties of lime-hemp concrete

Lime-hemp concrete (LHC) is a sustainable construction material with a low environmental impact. In this study, the thermal properties of two lime-hemp mixes with varying levels of hemp were measured to analyze the material’s ability to be used on a larger scale in cold and wet climates. A TPS Thermal Constants Analyser measured the thermal properties of the lime-hemp samples using the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method. Results showed ...
