A study on some durability properties of coconut shell aggregate concrete
In this study, coconut shell was used as recycled lightweight aggregate in concrete. For coconut shell aggregate concrete (CSAC) to be used in realistic situations, its strength, durability and its temperature resistance need to be examined. Therefore, this study investigated the durability performance of CSAC in three curing conditions and resistance at elevated temperatures. The durability properties investigated include the absorption, volume of permeable voids, sorptivity, rapid chloride penetration test, salt ponding test, and temperature resistance. The test results showed that the durability properties of CSAC are comparable to that of other conventional lightweight concretes (LWCs) and convenient curing is necessary for CSAC to achieve better durability. Temperature resistance of CSAC at elevated temperature, color changes; residual strength is comparable with LWCs.
