Abstract

This study aims to examine the characteristics of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and palm kernel shell waste as sustainable construction materials. The grain size distribution, specific gravity, moisture content, and content weight of the aggregates were analyzed to understand their effect on concrete performance. Results showed significant differences between coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and palm kernel shell. The grain size distribution of palm kernel shells differs from natural aggregates, but its potential use is still relevant. The different specific gravity of the aggregate types has implications for concrete mix design. The use of palm kernel shells as aggregate has the potential to reduce structural load and environmental impact due to the lower specific gravity. Aggregate moisture content also affects the properties and performance of concrete mixes. The use of palm kernel shells as aggregate has the potential to affect the water characteristics of the mix and have a positive impact on the environment. Aggregate content weight informs aggregate density and porosity. The use of palm kernel shells has the potential to affect concrete density and provide thermal insulation. This study provides insight into developing sustainable construction materials through preliminary testing of aggregates.
