STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF PARTIALREPLACEMENT OF COCONUT SHELLS ASCOARSE AGGREGATE IN CONCRETE
Concrete is a group of raw materials similar in appearance and properties to some natural lime stone rock. It is a man-made mixture, the major constituent is natural coarse aggregate such as gravel or crushed rock, fine aggregate such as sand and cement powder all mixed with water. As the time goes on, the cement paste starts it process of hydration and after hardening it gets its required strength to withstand the load. The coconut shells used as replacement for coarse aggregate has never been usual practice in particular areas where light weight concrete is required for non-bearing walls, non-structural floors and in strip footings.Because of the high cost of construction, if we use waste materials as replacement materials in the construction of concrete structures, the cost of construction will be reduce. By the replacement of coconut shells we can get the light weight concrete. As the replacement of coconut shells increases the strength of the concrete will be reduce. The strength properties of concrete were found by the replacement of coconut shells by 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% at the age of 3days, 7days and 28days. This type of concrete can be treated as eco-friendly concrete.
