Mechanical Properties Of Concrete Using Coconut Shell As Coarse Aggregate

The economy of all structures is being impacted by the current cost of building materials. It has a significant impact on the global environmental housing system. Conventional aggregates, such as gravel, and fine aggregate, such as sand in concrete, will be utilized for control. Robo sand (stone dust) will be used as fine aggregate to replace the sand in concrete, while natural material such as coconut shell will be researched as a coarse aggregate. In this study, sample specimens are prepared and tested using M25 grade concrete that has a combination of natural material coconut shell content as coarse aggregate in the proportions of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%, and Robo sand (stone dust) as fine aggregate with a complete 100% replacement of natural sand. for workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength for 7,14 and 28 days respectively and also showing the comparative results with Conventional M25 grade concrete. By this project investigation, concrete may be less dense, light weight concrete by coconut shells and good quality of concrete by Robo sand.
