- W4226295972 abstract "AbstractIn Ghana and other developing tropical countries in the world, oil palm is noted to be one of the most sustainable cash crops due to its versatility. The entire palm tree apart from the root, is useable for one or more products. The stem can be used as timber; the branches and leaves as baskets; the fruit bunches as palm oil and soap; the nut as palm kernel oil; and the kernel shell being waste as a potential construction material. Depletion of natural resources coupled with the environmental degradation caused by the extraction of natural resources such as sand and crushed rocks, have necessitated the need for researchers in the construction industry to explore more sustainable alternative materials such as palm kernel shell (PKS) for construction. Previous studies conducted on PKS centered more on the properties of the PKS as aggregate to replace conventional natural resource aggregates, and also the behaviour of composite materials produced with partially replaced PKS as aggregated such as PKS blocks, concrete, mortar and terrazzo finishing. To some extent, professionals in the construction industry are convinced that these much-reported proofs about PKS exploitation as potential construction material. Further studies have indicated that, the use of PKS results in affordable products. To some extent, this might be true, but very little is reported on this claim as empirical evidence. To this end, further studies with emphasis on the application of PKS products to construct building elements are required. These when supported with empirical evidence of cost-reduction and behavioural checked by appropriate design standards and code of practices, will to a large extend, boost stakeholders’ and professionals’ interest in adopting PKS material for construction.KeywordsPalm oilPalm kernel shellAggregateAffordable materialSustainability" @default.
