This research was performed to evaluate the influence of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) on the mechanical properties (compressive and flexural strengths) and quality of Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC). A 2.5% POME by weight of cement was added as an additional binder in UHPC. Due to unfamiliar characteristics of POME in concrete, varying percentages of hooked-end steel fibers, i.e., 1% and 2% by volume fraction were also employed in some UHPC mixtures to improve the flexural strength of UHPC. A total of 18 prisms of size 100 mm × 100 mm × 500 mm were cast for flexural, compressive, and non-destructive tests at 28 days of curing age. Improvement in flexural strengths is observed for steel fiber reinforced UHPC containing POME in comparison to fiber reinforced UHPC without POME, however, more investigations are required to identify the effect of POME in flexural strength of UHPC. Reduction in compressive strengths is observed for steel fiber reinforced UHPC containing POME compared to fiber reinforced UHPC without POME, indicating the addition of POME did not contribute to the enhancement in compressive strength. The results from the non-destructive test show that all UHPC specimens with and without POME are graded as good concrete, thus, it is assumed that the addition of POME in UHPC has no effect on the quality of UHPC.

摘要

This research was performed to evaluate the influence of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) on the mechanical properties (compressive and flexural strengths) and quality of Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC). A 2.5% POME by weight of cement was added as an additional binder in UHPC. Due to unfamiliar characteristics of POME in concrete, varying percentages of hooked-end steel fibers, i.e., 1% and 2% by volume fraction were also employed in some UHPC mixtures to improve the flexural strength of UHPC. A total of 18 prisms of size 100 mm × 100 mm × 500 mm were cast for flexural, compressive, and non-destructive tests at 28 days of curing age. Improvement in flexural strengths is observed for steel fiber reinforced UHPC containing POME in comparison to fiber reinforced UHPC without POME, however, more investigations are required to identify the effect of POME in flexural strength of UHPC. Reduction in compressive strengths is observed for steel fiber reinforced UHPC containing POME compared to fiber reinforced UHPC without POME, indicating the addition of POME did not contribute to the enhancement in compressive strength. The results from the non-destructive test show that all UHPC specimens with and without POME are graded as good concrete, thus, it is assumed that the addition of POME in UHPC has no effect on the quality of UHPC.
