Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Coconut Shell

Ankit Kumar Pandey, Chandan Kumar, Avanish Yadav, Vaibhav Mishra, Amit Kumar

Abstract


In such a structure, we are studying coconut shell which is a good replacement. It is a concrete or coconut shell that we will study on. We put the coconut shell on the replacement of cement, because coconut shell is very light weight. so instead of concrete we will use it, and in a way, using concrete. It is a non-renewable natural stone aggregate which proves to be very convenient for our environment. according to study coconut shell is a lightweight aggregate is used to term concrete. most important quality of coconut shell is to be study and analyzed the concrete shell of coconut were tested moisture content 4.20% and water absorption is 24% and that value is higher than conventional aggregate. coconut shell is more resistance exhibits and density of coconut shell is 550-650 kg/m3 and specific limited for light weight. Presence of sugar in coconut shell is affected when it is liberated in concrete. That is, it strengthens the strength of the coconut shell only when it is in free state in concrete.
