We prepared coconut shell modified-concrete. ... Results revealed that with 40% replacement of conventional coarse aggregate by coconut shell, 7 days compressive strength of concrete decreased by 62.6%; whereas decrease in 28 days compressive strength was only 21.5%. 40% replacement makes the concrete lighter by 7.47%. Further, it was revealed that for mix design of concrete of 20 N/mm 2 ...

The possibility of utilizing recycled coconut shell aggregates in concrete as coarse aggregate is examined in the present study. An optimum percentage replacement of coarse aggregate with coconut shell aggregate is determined from the study. Coarse aggregate made from coconut shells were used in proportions of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% and 35% to replace coarse aggregate in

Properties of coconut shell which may make it suitable coarse aggregate for concrete are (i) its high strength and modulus properties; (ii) its high lignin content that makes the composites more weather resistant; (iii) its low cellulose content due to which it absorbs less moisture as compared to other agricultural waste; (iv) its shells are non-biodegradable; (v) they can be used readily in ...

Properties of Concrete with Coconut Shells as Aggregate Replacement 22 2.2. Mix proportions In order to investigate properties of CS concretes, six mixes were employed. Control mix (M1) that is, without CS was made. Coarse aggregate was then replaced with CS in 10 (M2), 15 (M3), 20 (M4) percentages to study effect of CS replacement. Furthermore, a mix with both CS and fly ash (M5) was

Now-a-days, the rising cost of building materials for construction purposes is a factor of great concern. The price of building materials is rising day by day. Now, most of the researchers are paying much attention on the suitable materials which can

Now-a-days, the rising cost of building materials for construction purposes is a factor of great concern. The price of building materials is rising day by day. Now, most of the researchers are paying much attention on the suitable materials which can

concrete decreased with increasing percentage of coconut shells and the cost of concrete per m 3 using coconut shell aggregates is lower as compared to conventional concrete. Tukiman Siti AminahBt and Mohd Sabarudin Bin (2009) have

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...

Concrete obtained using coconut shell as a coarse aggregate satisfies the minimum requirements of concrete. Coconut shell aggregate resulted acceptable strength which is required for structural concrete. Coconut shell may present itself as a potential material in the field of construction industries.

Studies by [8also ] indicated some of the advantages of using coconut shell ascoarse aggregate replacement in concrete include high strength, reduction of

Coconut Shell is a waste from the agrarian sector and is used in large quantities in the tropical areas. The waste coconut shell may be utilized to replace natural coarse aggregate. In this study, M 20 grade of concretewas produced by replacing natural coarse aggregates at 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%,30%, 40% and 50% by weight with waste coconut shell.

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.

It also paved the way to the recognition of using coconut shells and fiber as substitute for aggregates in developing concrete hollow blocks. This paper presents the result on the workability and compressive strength of concrete containing various percentage of coconut shell content as

The amount of cement content may be more when coconut shell are used as an aggregate in the production of concrete compared to conventional aggregate concrete. The presence of sugar in the coconut shells as long as it is not in a free sugar form, will not affect the setting and strength of concrete.

with 10%, 20%, 30% 40% replacement of aggregate by coconut shell concrete cube specimens. b. To check various properties of coconut shell concrete mix like - Density - Modulus of Elasticity - Workability - Water-cement ratio - Water absorption - Slump cone c. To investigate the feasibility of the combination of coconut shell as coarse aggregate in concrete by determining its compressive ...

30.01.2020 USE OF COCONUT SHELL AS COARSE AGGREGATE IN LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE. Abstract: This research work reports the investigation carried out to determine the use of coconut shell as an aggregate in light weight concrete. Concrete samples were produced with different mix ratios, to determine the best and economic proportions that will give acceptable compressive strengths.

It occupies about 65-80% part of concrete. Coconut Shell is a waste, generated by industrial and agricultural processes, and has created disposal and management problems that pose serious issues of environmental pollution. 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 ...

Coarse aggregate, coconut shells required for the Experimental work. 4. Testing of properties of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and coconut shells. 3.2 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 ...
