Abstract

The rapid development of building construction requires innovation in the improvement of the material properties of the concrete as well as in the finding of a solution to reduce the dependence on the raw materials currently used. In the meantime, the biggest environmental problem that typically causes pollution usually comes from waste disposal. One of the wastes that has been discovered is the bottom ash of palm oil (POBA). Bottom ash is a domestic waste that could be found in a disposal site consisting of silica and alumina. Both silica and alumina are additional cement-based materials that provide cementing properties that can enhance concrete strength due to pozzolanic reactions with the presence of water. This research aims to recycle POBA waste by adding it as an additive to ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) mixtures. The composition of 5, 10 and 15% of the bottom ash was used to determine the optimum design. Workability and compressive capacity of 100 mm3 UHPC cubes were observed on the mixing day, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th days after day of casting. The research results show that the addition of POBA has had an impact on the workability and compressive strength of the UHPC and that the optimum percentage of the POBA composition is 15%.
