The waste agriculture materials cause environment pollution, recycle of these materials help sustainable development. This study focused on the impact of used oil palm shell ash on the compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortar. Two different cement mortar mixes have been designed to investigate the impact of oil palm shell ash on strengths of cement mortar. Quantity of 4% oil palm she...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of glass ionomer cement layers with various thickness and cement contamination on the fracture resistance of thin zirconia plates luted onto coplanar human molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS Zirconia plates measuring 0.7 mm in thickness were luted onto 70 coplanarly trimmed human molars with glass ionomer cement. Cement layers measuring 100, 250, 1000, and 2...

The utilization of waste materials from the palm oil industry provides immense benefit to various sectors of the construction industry. Palm oil clinker is a by-product from the processing stages of palm oil goods. Channelling this waste material into the building industry helps to promote sustainability besides overcoming waste disposal problems. Environmental pollution due to inappropriate wa...

Various chemicals can have different effects on the properties of the cement slurry. In this paper, the different effects of L-ascorbic acid have been investigated on the important parameters of cement slurry made from class G oil well cement. These parameters included the amount of free fluid, rheological properties, Thickening Time, and compressive strength. Several cement slurries were made ...

It has long been known that temperature during circulation and after cement placement is one of the most important parameters for slurry design and the success in cement production. Conventional cements and low density cement slurries usually take a long time to set and cannot provide significant compressive strength. Therefore, it is important to design appropriate low density cement slurries ...

Introduction Cement is the most abundantly used man made material on the planet, accounting for a 40 Billion USD market in the US alone [1]. Widespread use of cement includes applications in oil well casings, roadways, buildings, and even as a bone graft technology for the treatment of osteoporosis[2,3]. As cements role as the foundation of our infrastructure broadens, demand for higher strengt...
