The results also indicated cost reduction of 30% and 42% for concrete produced from coconut shells and palm kernel shells, respectively. Considering the strength/economy ratio, it was concluded that coconut shells were more suitable than palm kernel shells when used as substitute for conventional aggregates in concrete production. r 2005
Coconut shell is used as light weight aggregate in concrete. Coconut shells are by-products of coconut oil production. Coconut shells are used in the production of activated carbon due to hardness and high carbon content. Various researchers have investigated the use of coconut shells and
1.2.1 Coconut Shell As Aggregate Coconut shell particles are used as reinforcing material for investigation. Shell particles of size between 20 mm – 600 μ are prepared in grinding machine. Coconut shell aggregates are potential candidates for the development of new composites because of their high strength and modulus properties.
coarse aggregate and coconut shells. Production of concrete mixes Production of mix (normal concrete of grade M-20) in the laboratory is carried out by IS method of concrete mix design (IS 10262-1982). Coconut shell concrete is produced by adding coconut shells in different percentage (i.e. 25% and 50%) replacement in concrete. Test on
The average fresh concrete density and 28-day cube compressive strength of the concrete using coconut shell aggregate were 1975 kg/m 3 and 19.1 N/mm 2 respectively. It is concluded that crushed
1. Coconut shells are applicable as partial substitute as coarse aggregates for concrete roof tiles. 2. The good indicators of coconut shell quality as aggregate of concrete roof tiles are particles, shape and texture, resistance to crushing, absorption and surface moisture, and light-weight. 3.
To make concrete greener and reduce the impact of rejected coconut shells on the environment, researchers have been testing the use of coconut fibers as full or partial replacement for aggregates. The ultimate goal is that concrete made of coconut husk aggregate could be used to produce low-cost housing for low-income areas around the world.
The coconut shell can be used as a coarse aggregate in concrete. It has functional resistance capacity against crushing, impact & abrasion. There is no special treatment required for coconut shells when used as coarse aggregate in concrete.
Coconut Shell Concrete (CSC) aggregate concrete is much higher than the theoretical bond strength as determined by IS 456: 2000 and BS 8110. In general, bond strength is proportional to bond strength of normal and other aggregate concrete with flexural strength. The values of CSC aggregate

This project aims at studying the variation of strength of coconut fibre reinforced concrete (CFRC) with different percentages of coconut fibre (0.5%, 1%,1.5% and 2% by weight of cement), coconut shell aggregate concrete by replacing coarse aggregate with different percentages of coconut shell ( 15%, 30% and 45%) compared with that of
ascertain the suitability of coconut shell as coarse aggregate in concrete and ensuring that standard method of assessment are dully followed. The experiments carried out on all the materials used for the research work according to BS 4550 and BS 812 is as follows: 1. Cement a. Standard consistency test
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.
M20 mix design was carried out for control mix (i.e. without coconut shell) according to Indian standards .Detailed procedure of mix design is provided in Annexure A.The concrete mix was designed for slump of 60 mm.Using same mix design, coconut shell concrete was prepared by replacement of conventional crushed coarse aggregate (CA) with waste coconut shell (CS).
2.70. This indicates that coconut shell is lighter than coarse aggregate and more volume of coconut shell will be required to replace equal weight of coarse aggregate in concrete. The bulk density of coconut shell obtained is 648 which far less thanis about 1437 of coarse aggregate implying its good for lightweight concrete.
Coconut shell is an agricultural waste. The concrete with ground coconut shell was found to be durable in terms of its resistance in water, acidic, alkaline and salty. Coconut shell being a hard and not easily degrade material if crushed to size of sand can be a po-tential material to substitute sand. At present, coconut shell
According to R. Nagalakshmi, M25 grade of concrete with cement replaced by fly ash and coarse aggregate by coconut shell and find its compressive, tensile strength. 5. According to Sabarudin Bin Mohd, he replaced coconut shell and palm kernel shell in place of coarse aggregate in concrete in 0,25,50,75 and 100 % replacement.

concrete. Coconut shell aggregate resulted in acceptable strength which is required for structural concrete. Coconut shell may present itself as a potential material in the field of construction industries. The coconut shell is compatible with cement and no need to pre-treatment for using it as coarse aggregate. Because of the smooth surface on
The utilizing of coconut shell as aggregate in concrete can produce low cost building materials in the construction industry. In addition, the use of CS in concrete is acceptable, because the structural strength of CS concrete is comparable to conventional concrete in the difference within the range of 10%.
