crushed, granular coconut and Palm kernel shell as substitutes for conventional coarse aggregate. The main objective is to encourage the use of these 'seemingly' waste products as construction materials in low-cost housing. It is also expected to serve the purpose of encouraging housing
test results. The use of coconut shell can also help the prevention of the environment. The paper aims at analyzing compressive strength of concrete (M20-1:1.5:3) produced using coconut shell as substitute for conventional coarse aggregate with 0%, 25%, 50%, partial replacement.
coconut shells as substitutes for conventional coarse aggregate. The results of the tests showed that the compressive strength of the concrete is acceptable on 25% replacement of coconut shells but this strength is decreased as the percentage of the shells increased. The results also indicated cost reduction of
focus was made on the coarse aggregates and an attempt was made to replace th e conventional coarse aggregates using coconut shells in concrete. A control mix was designed for M 25 grade of co ncrete and then the crushed granite aggregates were replaced with coconut shells by volume in different levels such as 20%, 40 %, 60%, 80% and .
use lightweight concrete. The possibility exists for the partial replacement of coarse aggregate with coconut shell to produce lightweight concrete. Coconut shell exhibits more resistance against crushing, impact and abrasion, compared to crushed granite aggregate. Coconut shell can be grouped under lightweight aggregate.

replaced the coarse aggregate by coconut shell and grained palm kernel in their study. Percentage of. replacement by coconut shell were 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and respective-ly. Conclusion is that the combinationof these materials has . potential of being used as. lightweight aggregate in co. ncrete and also has reduce the . material cost in construction [12].

At present, coconut shell has also been burnt to produce charcoal and activated carbon for food and carbonated drink and filtering mineral water use. However, the coconut shell is ...
The results from this research suggest that coconut shells can be applied as a partial substitute for a coarse aggregate in concrete in percentages subject to the characteristic qualities required in the structural member of normal concrete applications.
produced using coconut shell as substitute for conventional coarse aggregate with 0%, 25%, 50%, partial replacement. Three sample cubes are prepared for M20 grade concrete mix for each case another aim of this paper is to spread awareness about use of coconut shell as construction material in civil engineering.
Abstract: The effect of coconut shell and its ash has been investigated and the experiments have been done to utilize these waste materials with concrete as a partial replacement for coarse aggregate and cement. The coconut shell in the form of aggregate is a material which can be a substitute for coarse aggregate in concrete.
Coarse Aggregate. (NCA) and coconut shell Coarse Aggregate. (CSA) 6.3 Natural Coarse Aggregate (NCA) Crushed hard granite chips of maximum size 20 mm were used in the concrete mixes. The bulk density of aggregate was 1460 kg/m3 and specific gravity was found to be 2.65. 6.4 Sand: Fine aggregate (sand) used for this entire investigation
Coconut shells can be used as coarse aggregate in concrete. It has functional resistance capability against abrasion, impact, and crushing. When used as coarse aggregate in concrete, no special treatment of coconut shell is required. Coconut husks are easily crushed into grains and transportation of this material is very economical.
a substitute for conventional coarse aggregates. coconut shell concrete can be classified under structural Keywords—Coconut shells, coarse aggregate replacement, light weight aggregate concrete ...
The waste coconut shell may be utilized to replace natural coarse aggregate. In present study, compressive strength of concrete of M - 20 grades has studied by replacing natural coarse aggregates at 0%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 30%, by weight with coconut shell. Compressive strength of coconut shell concrete has been evaluated on 7, 14, 21 and 28 days.

Figure 1: Grading curves of Coconut Shells & Conventional Coarse Aggregates Comparison with British Standard The Gradation curve of a coconut shell falls within the recommended range for a coarse aggregate (BS 882). All tests were performed using aggregates from these well-graded coconut shell samples.
Coarse aggregate was replaced by crushed coconut shells in three different percentages namely 25%, 50% and . Workability, compressive strength, …
The experimental investigation aimed at utilizing coconut shell aggregates as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete at different cement contents. The cement content was kept varying so as to compensate for the loss in strength with the addition of coconut shell aggregate (CSA). The
