Abstract

This research was aimed at investigating the suitability of oil palm shell and corn cob as partial replacements for quarry dust in the production of kerbstone. The paucity of building materials and the large disposal of agricultural waste developing countries has been a serious problem in building and agricultural industries. Thus, the reuse of these agro construction materials appears to be a viable solution to help minimize the use of construction material to avoid scarcity and the high cost of the building materials. Quarry dust was partially replaced with oil palm shell at 50% only and for cor at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30% respectively. cob which failed as result of the inability of the mix to dry up after a week which was due to the large amount of corn cob contained in the mix and its high absorption property. The kerbs were cured A total of 81 kerbstones were absorption. A decrease in the slump value was noticed as the amount of corn cob increased which was as a result of the presence of silica compound in the corn cob while an increase in the workability shell and it gave a medium degree of workability. The compressive strength of the samples increased as the age increased but decreased as the percentage of replacement increased. Samples of 0% replacement ha strength at each age compared to samples of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 30%. The results obtained showed that quarry dust can be replaced partially with corn cob up to 5% and oil palm shell up to 50%. In the use of oil palm shell and corn was observed from the result obtained that corn cob has more effect on the properties of the kerbstones than the oil palm shell.
