Nowadays, an alkali-activated binder has become an emergent sustainable construction material as an alternative to traditional cement and geopolymer binders. However, high drying shrinkage and low durability performance in aggressive environments such as sulphuric acid and sulphate are the main problems of alkali-activated paste, mortar and concrete. Based on these factors, alkali-activated mortar (AAM) binders incorporating high-volume palm oil fuel ash (POFA), ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) and fly ash (FA) were designed to enhance their durability performance against aggressive environments. The compressive strength, drying shrinkage, loss in strength and weight, as well as the microstructures of these AAMs were evaluated after exposure to acid and sulphate solutions. Mortars made with a high volume of POFA showed an improved durability performance with reduced drying shrinkage compared to the control sample. Regarding the resistance against aggressive environments, AAMs with POFA content increasing from 0 to 70% showed a reduced loss in strength from 35 to 9% when subjected to an acid attack, respectively. Additionally, the results indicated that high-volume POFA binders with an increasing FA content as a GBFS replacement could improve the performance of the proposed mortars in terms of durability. It is asserted that POFA can significantly contribute to the cement-free industry, thus mitigating environmental problems such as carbon dioxide emission and landfill risks. Furthermore, the use of POFA can increase the lifespan of construction materials through a reduction in the deterioration resulting from shrinkage problems and aggressive environment attacks.

This paper presents the utilization of palm oil fuel ash and oil palm kernel shell as cement and sand replacement, respectively in the production of palm oil fuel ash based mortar mixes as part of new and innovative materials in the construction industry. The study includes basic properties such as water absorption, density, compressive strength, and microstructure test with regards to variations in the mix design process. In order to get better performance in terms of strength development, the ash used was subjected to heat treatment and grounded to the size of less than 2 µm. High volume of 80% palm oil fuel ash was used as cement replacement, while 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of oil palm kernel shell was used as sand replacement. The results indicated that the density of the mortar decreases with increasing volume of oil palm kernel ash as sand replacement. Three different types of mortar were produced with different percentages of oil palm kernel shell, which was high strength, medium strength, and low strength lightweight mortars.

This paper studies the drying shrinkage of mortar incorporating oil palm biomass waste including Palm Oil Fuel Ash, Oil Palm Kernel Shell and Oil Palm Fibre. Nano size of palm oil fuel ash was used up to 80 % as cement replacement by weight. The ash has been treated to improve the physical and chemical properties of mortar. The mass ratio of sand to blended ashes was 3:1. The test was carried out using 25 × 25 × 160 mm prism for drying shrinkage tests and 70 × 70 ×70 mm for compressive strength test. The results show that the shrinkage value of biomass mortar is reduced by 31% compared with OPC mortar thus, showing better performance in restraining deformation of the mortar while the compressive strength increased by 24% compared with OPC mortar at later age. The study gives a better understanding of how the biomass waste affect on mortar compressive strength and drying shrinkage behaviour. Overall, the oil palm biomass waste can be used to produce a better performance mortar at later age in terms of compressive strength and drying shrinkage.

Palm oil fuel ash is a waste material that can be used as partial cement replacement. However, its reactivity as pozzolanic material depends on the size of the particle. This paper presents the effects of nano size palm oil fuel ash on the long term characteristics of mortar. The study covers basic properties of mortar including the morphology, porosity, compressive strength and microstructural with regards to the variations in the mix design of the mortar. The palm oil fuel ash used has gone through heat treatment and was ground to a nano size with the percentage replacement of cement used was 60%, 80% and 100%. The different types of mortar samples were cast in a 70x70x70mm cube for compressive strength test. All casting and testing of the samples were conducted in the laboratory at ambient temperature. The results show that the use of 80% nano size palm oil fuel ash has produced higher compressive strength at the age of 28 days by 32% compared to the control mortar. Grinding the palm oil fuel ash to a nano size particle has improved the reactivity of the ash and because of it is a waste material it reduces the cost of the mortar. The experimental result also show that the compressive strength of the 80% nano size palm oil fuel ash mortar at 365 days was 25% higher than its strength at 28 days. In addition, the porosity of the 80% nano palm oil fuel ash mortar was reduced by 51% at the age of 1 year. The overall results have revealed that the use of high volume nano palm oil fuel ash can enhances the mortar properties and due to the high percentage of replacement it can contribute to a more sustainable construction.

The present paper is a part of an extensive study on green palm oil fuel ash engineered cementitious composites conducted at Universiti Sains Malaysia. It specifically investigates the effects of waterbinder ratio (w/b) and palm oil fuel ash (POFA) on the drying shrinkage of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs). W/b values of 0.33, 0.36, and 0.38 were selected. ECC mixes were proportioned to have various ratios of POFA ranging from 0 to 1.2 from the mass of cement. The drying shrinkage measurements were taken at 4, 11, 18, 25, 57, and 90 days. The experimental results show that w/b has a significant effect on the drying shrinkage of the ECC mixtures. Drying shrinkage is remarkably reduced with a decrease in the w/b. The results also showed that drying shrinkage of the composites is considerably reduced when POFA is used in the matrix. The measured drying shrinkage strain at 90 days is only 920×10-6 µε to 1216×10-6 µε for ECC mixtures with high POFA content. The shrinkage strain of the ECC mixtures without POFA at 90 days is nearly 1597×10-6 µε to 1910×10-6 µε.
