    Presently there is increasing attention in utilization foamcrete as a lightweight non-structural and semi-structural element in buildings to take advantage of its excellent insulation properties. Though, foamcrete has been noticed to have some disadvantages: considerable brittleness; results in low compressive and flexural strength, poor fracture toughness, poor resistance to crack propagation and low impact strength. Hence this study is intended to look into the potential of oil palm trunk (OPT) fiber in enhancing the engineering properties of foamcrete. There are 2 engineering properties will be focused in this study which are ultrasonic pulse velocity and drying shrinkage. Two densities of foamcrete of 600 kg/m3, 1200 kg/m3 were cast and tested. The ratio of cement, sand and water used in this study was 1:1.5:0.45. OPT fibers were used as additives at 0.15%, 0.30%, 0.45% and 0.60% by volume of the total mix. Test results indicated that the engineering properties of foamcrete reinforced with OPT fiber had amplified thoroughly.

    Lightning is a natural phenomenon which occurred when the upper atmosphere becomes unstable due to rising air currents. Lightning can be one of the natural causes of human injuries or damage to electrical equipment. In order to create a system to protect buildings from this natural phenomenon, the Lightning Protection System (LPS) was introduced. However, various problems have been associated with this conventional method. A common problem related to external lightning protection cables is corrosion. Therefore, the newly arrangement of lightning protection cable was proposed and investigated. Galvanized steel cable was used in this research due to suitability of the materials to be embedded inside reinforced concrete beam. Load-displacement behavior from the three (3) point flexural test was compared with the finding from the Finite Element Analysis (FEA). From the result, FEA showed slightly higher than experiment result at the maximum load.
