dc.description.abstractThis study examines the results from an investigation on the impact resistance of oil palm shells (OPS) concrete. The use of OPS as a substitute for regular aggregate in lightweight concrete will help reduce its negative environmental influence. There is a lack of research on the impact resistance and crack behaviour of concrete; specifically in OPS lightweight concrete reinforced by polypropylene (PP) fibre. The replication of a low-velocity projectile effect on slab samples was achieved by dropping two types of steel ball (weighing 0.380�kg and 1.25�kg), with drop height of 360�mm, through the utilization of a self-fabricated drop-weight impact test rig. A total of 12 cube specimens, with dimensions 100�נ100�נ100�mm, were used to prepare 36 slabs with various thicknesses. The 36 slabs were prepared using a concrete cutting machine to excise the three cube specimens from each mixture, into 20, 30 and 40�mm thicknesses. Impact resistance tests were then performed on them. The results demonstrate that there was a strong linear relation between volume fraction of PP fibre and impact resistance; as well as crack resistance ratio. This relation was indefeasible by changing the thickness from 20�mm to 30�mm and 40�mm. Although increasing the thickness improved the impact resistance significantly, the effect was more pronounced for ultimate failure crack resistance than for first crack resistance. � 2016 Elsevier Ltden_US
