Effect of high temperature mixing water on properties of concrete containing palm oil fuel ash

Effect of high temperature mixing water on properties of concrete containing palm oil fuel ash / Vincent Soh Hang Guat
Abu sisa kelapa sawit (POFA) merupakan sesuatu bahan sampingan hasil daripada industri minyak kelapa sawit yang diiktiraf sebagai bahan pengganti simen yang baik. Penggunaan POFA di dalam konkrit membantu dalam meningkatkan mikrostruktur dan sifat mekanikal konkrit. Tetapi, kesan daripada tindakbalas POFA dan kalsium hidroksida yang perlahan semasa proses penghidratan simen telah melambatkan perkembangan kekuatan awal konnrit. Tujuan kajian ini dijalankan ialah untuk mengkaji kesan suhu air pencampuran yang tinggi terhadap perkembangan kekuatan awal konkrit. Sebanyak tujuh bancuhan konkrit telah disediakan dalam kajian ini, iaitu OPC, POFA25, POFA50, POFA60, POFA70, POFA80 dan POFA90. OPC dan POFA25 merupakan bancuhan konkrit yang dibancuh dengan air yang bersuhu 25°C. POFA50, 60, 70, 80 dan 90 merupakan bancuhan konkrit yang dibancuh dengan air yang bersuhu tinggi iaitu 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C dan 90°C. Terdapat dua perbandingan keputusan dalam kajian ini iaitu penentuan suhu air percampuran yang sesuai dalam membantu perkembangan kekuatan awal konkrit dan penentuan kesan suhu air pencampuran yang tinggi kepada konkrit. Dalam perbandingan penentuan suhu air percampuran yang paling sesuai, konkrit POFA50 telah menunjukkan kualiti konkrit yang lebih baik, kekuatan mampatan dan kekuatan lenturan yang tinggi. Manakala dalam penentuan kesan suhu air pencampuran tinggi kepada konkrit, peningkatan dalam suhu air pencampuran telah menyebabkan pengurangan dalam kebolehkerjaan konkrit, tetapi mempunyai perkembangan kekuatan awal konkrit dan kekuatan lenturan yang lebih baik berbanding dengan OPC dan POFA25 spesimen. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Palm oil fuel ash (POFA), a by-product from the palm oil industry has been recognized as a good partial cement replacement material. The utilization of POFA in concrete helps in improving the microstructure and mechanical properties of concrete. However, the utilization of POFA in concrete has slowed down the early strength development due to the slow pozzolanic reaction of POFA and calcium hydroxide evolved from the cement hydration process. This research is conducted in order to investigate the effect of high mixing water temperature to the early strength development of concrete. A total of seven mixes have been prepared in this study, namely OPC, POFA25, POFA50, POFA60, POFA70, POFA80 and POFA90. OPC and POFA25 are the control specimens that mixed with mixing water temperature of 25°C. POFA50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 are the specimens mixed with various high mixing water temperature of 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C and 90°C. There are two modes of comparison of the results in this study which included the determination of the most suitable range of high mixing water temperature that can enhance the early strength development of concrete and the determination of the effect of high mixing water temperature to the concrete. In the mode of determination of the most suitable high mixing water temperature, the POFA50 concrete has possessed a better quality, high compressive strength and high flexural strength. While in the determination of the effect of high mixing water temperature to the concrete, the increased in the temperature has reduced the workability, a better early strength development and flexural strength as compared to the OPC and POFA25 specimens.
