Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Palm Fiber on the Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Concrete Crushed BrickMahyuddin Ramli, Eethar Thanoon DawoodProblem statement: Researches has been conducted worldwide on a large number of natural or artificial lightweight aggregates. In spite of many of the researches of using natural fibers show considerable promise, the use of natural fibers to improve the properties of lightweight concrete still required to be a subject of further research and investigation. Approach: This experimental investigation was carried … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleLaboratory Diameteral Fatigue Performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt with Cellulose Oil Palm FiberRatnasamy Muniandy, Bujang B.K. HuatStone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is a gap-graded mix that is gaining popularity worldwide. Generally, gap graded mixes are thought to be weak in fatigue resistance. In this study, cellulose fibers were pre-blended in PG64-22 binder with fiber proportions of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% by weight of aggregates. The fiber-modified binder showed improved rheological properties and showed that the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleStrength and Ductility of Randomly Distributed Palm Fibers Reinforced Silty-Sand SoilsS.M. Marandi, M.H. Bagheripour, R. Rahgozar, H. ZareThis paper investigates the resultant strength and ductility behavior when randomly distributed palm fibers are used to reinforce silty-sand soils. The composite soils were tested under laboratory conditions and examined for unconfined compression strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and compaction test. The results indicated that; the maximum and residual strengths, orientation of surface failures, ductility and the stress-strain relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExtraction and Identification of Water-Soluble Compounds in Palm-Pressed Fiber by SC-CO2 and GC-MSHarrison Lau Lik Nang, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah Ngan, Chuah Cheng HockThe residual oil recovered from palm-pressed fiber is known to contain high level of carotenes (4,000 mg kgˉ1 to 6,000 mg kgˉ1) and vitamin E such as tocopherols and tocotrienols (2,000 mg kgˉ1 to 3,000 mg kgˉ1). In this study, the water-soluble compounds in fresh palm-pressed fiber were recovered by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction. The concentration of these compounds … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,323 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacteristics of Empty Palm Bunch Fibers as Alternative Pulp MaterialIhak Sumardi, Anne Hadiyane, Alfi Rumidatul, Lili MelaniMaterial characteristics in this research become the focus to see the possibility of oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) becoming pulp raw material in the future. The oil palm empty fruit bunch fibers are divided into two parts, namely the inner and outer parts, which are the focus of this research. Tests carried out using the TAPPI standard include testing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 8 Jun 2020 · 8,940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDetermination of Rheological Properties of Bio Mastic AsphaltR. Muniandy, H. Jafariahangari, R. Yunus, S. HassimDue to the high oil prices the price of asphalt binder has increased tremendously. This scenario has warranted demand for higher viscosity cheaper asphalt for pavement construction. A study was conducted to take advantage of the Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) of Date and Oil Palm trees (which are considered as waste) to produce cellulose fiber to be used as additives … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSelecting Natural Fibers for Bio-Based Materials with Conflicting CriteriaFaris M. AL-Oqla, Mohd Sapuan Salit, Mohamad Ridzwan Ishak, Nuraini Abdul AzizProper material selection enhances both desired physical and meta-physical properties of the end user products. Due to the growing awareness of the environmental issues as well as the industrial sustainability, the Natural Fiber Composites (NFCs) have recently emphasized to be implemented in various industrial applications. The final product features of such composites depend on the integrated characteristics of both matrix … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2015 · 8,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRecycled High-Density Polyethylene and Rice Husk as a Wetted Pad in Evaporative Cooling SystemNitipong Soponpongpipat, Sukum KositchaimongkolProblem statement: The low cost and easy-to-find materials, for being used as wetted pad of evaporative cooling system, are necessary for agriculture. This study, thus, studied the evaporative cooling efficiency and pressure drop of recycled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and rice husk as a wetted pad in evaporative cooling system. Approach: The study was done by establishing the tested wetted pad … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 8,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Palm Kernel Cake Based Biosupplement Biscuits on Nutrient Utilization, Growth Performance, and Metabolic Responses in Male Ettawah GoatsTintin Rostini, Suharlina, Achmad Jaelani et al.Palm Kernel Cake (PKC), a major by-product of the palm oil industry, has considerable potential as an alternative feed ingredient for ruminants because of its wide availability, moderate protein content, and economic value. However, its utilization is often constrained by high fiber and lignocellulosic components that may limit nutrient digestibility. This study evaluated the effects of PKC-based biosupplement biscuits as … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 22 Oct 2026 · 312 accessesView PDFCite
