Comparative Analysis of Coconut shell Concrete to Traditional Concrete

Abstract

It is found that so many wastes which can be used in traditional concrete like e-wastes, rubber tyre waste, glass waste etc. The coconut shell is also a main waste which can be used in traditional concrete. Generally, coconut shells are used in traditional concrete in the form of viz., coconut shell aggregate and coconut shell fiber. This paper describes coconut shells are used as replacement of coarse aggregates. The compressive and flexural strength test where taken on 10%, 20% and 30% replacement of coarse aggregate to coconut shells. It is observed that the compressive strength of concrete is reduced in some extent and the flexural strength also reduced as replacement of coconut shell is increased, but the 10% replacement is possible to use in construction work and 20% and 30% replacement are possible to use for less important construction work under some conditions. It is found that, workability of concrete is increased than traditional concrete as percentage replacement is increased. Total cost of concrete is get reduced by replacement of coarse aggregate to coconut shells. The volume of concrete is also increased as replacement is increased, hence, the total quantity of concrete required is getting reduced and the cost is again getting reduced. This paper supports the “SWACHHA BHARAT ABHIYAN” carried by our Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Finally, this paper concluded that, the Coconut Shell is possible to use for construction work as coarse aggregate under some conditions economically. It is majorly used for construction of small huts, watchman cabin, farm house in forest areas and small houses etc.
