Key Points

The study aims to evaluate how variations in coconut shell size influence the physical and mechanical characteristics of concrete.
Conducted experiments with different size variations of coconut shells as aggregate in concrete mixtures.
Measured physical properties like density and water absorption, and mechanical properties such as compressive strength and tensile strength.
Analyzed results using standard testing methods to compare performance metrics.
Concrete made with larger coconut shells exhibited lower compressive strength compared to those with smaller shells.
Water absorption rates were significantly higher in concrete mixtures using larger coconut shells, indicating reduced durability.
Overall findings suggest optimal size for coconut shells can improve concrete characteristics, making it a viable composite material.
