Abstract:
Concrete is made up of cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregate, water and admixtures if necessary. Aggregate is one of the main ingredients in producing concrete covering up to 75% of total concrete mix. Strength of concrete produced is dependent on properties of concrete. High cost is the dominating factor of conventional construction material which is affecting the housing system. Thus to overcome this drawback, it is necessary to make research on an alternative material which reduces the cost. Thus waste coconut shell may be used to replace conventional coarse aggregate. India is the third largest coconut producing country and accounts for over quarter of world’s total coconut oil output. However, it is also the main contributor to the nation’s pollution problem as a solid waste in the form of shells and represents more than 60% of the domestic waste volume. Coconut shell which is an abundantly available agricultural waste from coconut industries poses a serious disposal problem. These wastes can be used as potential material or replacement material in the construction industry. This will have the double advantage of reduction in the cost of construction material and also as a means of disposal of wastes. In this study, M20 grade of concrete was produced by partially replacing Coarse Aggregate by coconut shell. Cubes and cylinders were casted and their compressive strength and Split tensile strength were evaluated at 7, 14 and 21 days by replacing coarse aggregate by coconut shell at 10%,20%, 30%,40%,& 50%.
