Abstract
This present research mainly focused on the behaviour of monolithically and precast portal frames made with lightweight fiber reinforced concrete. The lightweight fiber reinforced concrete (LWFRC) is achieved with Palm oil shells (POS) and glass fibers (G.F). The POS is replaced with coarse aggregates and the G.F is added to the concrete to increase ductility parameters. To reduce the further density of the concrete, replaced cement with GGBS and Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) individually. All these replacements are helping the reduction of solid waste and greenhouse gases from cement Industries. Portal frames are made with M30 Grade LWFRC through replacements. All the precast frames are connected with the Dowel bar connection through the grouting. All the LWFRC frames are compared with conventional concrete frames. The palm oil shells are replaced up to 50% in coarse aggregates to diminish the density of the concrete and also to decrease the greenhouse gases from the cement industry; cement is replacing with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA).
