Abstract
We have a propensity in this article to examine using coconut shell as a coarse aggregate in concrete. Due to increased need for construction materials for infrastructure, we will employ coconut shell as an alternative ingredient inside the concrete paver block mix. This paper looks at how coconut shell waste can be used to make paver blocks. The qualities of concrete that have been combined with coconut shell are examined and associated to related standards. The analysis of literature revealed that waste from coconut shell has a noticeable potential as a partial replacement for conventional materials, as most of the created products meet the specifications. There is little research on durability, low density, and thermal qualities, though. As a result, compressive strength, durability strength, and split tensile strengths were used to summaries the various types of tests depending on days. Cement concrete, which also comprises fine and coarse particles, plays an essential role among low-cost construction materials. Coconut shell is one of the waste materials come from coconut plant that can be utilized in concrete as a rough mix.
Keywords: Coconut shell, Compression, tensile strength, durability properties
