Development of High Strength Lightweight Coconut Shell Aggregate Concrete
Coconut shell is an agricultural solid waste originating from the coconut industry. Coconut shell is used for many useful purposes but most of the coconut shell wastes are yet to be utilized commercially. Since coconut shells have the potential to be used as coarse aggregate in concrete, utilizing this waste in the construction industry not only reduces the solid waste management problems associated with it but also will be a valuable contribution to the industry as an eco-friendly construction material. In this investigation, coconut shell was used for the production of high strength lightweight concrete. The dry density and cube compressive strengths were measured. Coconut shell aggregate concrete of compressive strength 35.09 N/mm2 and dry density 1913 kg/m3 was produced. These are in the range of high strength lightweight aggregate concrete.
