    This project examines partially replacing coarse aggregate and adding coconut fibers and shells to concrete. Coconut fiber is treated and added in 1-3% proportions by weight of cement. Coconut shells are added by replacing 15-45% of coarse aggregate. Concrete cubes are tested at 7, 14, and 28 days to evaluate compressive and split tensile strengths. Preliminary results show coconut fiber and shells can improve concrete properties while reducing weight. The project aims to study engineering properties and design an M20 or M30 class mix with coconut additions.

    ABSTRACT
    • This experiment describes the behavioral study of coconut
    fibre & shell in concrete structure. The addition of coconut
    fibre and shells into small pieces in concrete that can
    improves various engineering properties of concrete.
    Coconut fibre is treated as natural fiber before using in
    concrete. Addition of coconut fibre & shell improves the
    compressive strength,flexural strength,split tensile strength
    of concrete.
    • The experiment is conducted on high strength concrete with
    the addition of fiber with 3 mix proportions (1%, 2%, 3%)
    by the weight of cement and coconut shells partially
    replaced by coarse aggregates about 3 mix proportions
    (15%,30%,45%) respectively with concrete cubes. The
    compressive strength and split tensile strength of cured
    concrete evaluated for 7days,14days,28days.
    • This results shows coconut fiber & shells can be used in
    concrete structure.
    • By addition of coconut fibre & shell to reduce the weight of
    the concrete structure.
    INTRODUCTION
    § Concrete is the most widely used construction material
    in all over the world.
    § Various types of fibres are used in concrete to it make
    more strong, durable and economical. Natural fibre such
    as coconut having physical and mechanical
    characteristics that can be used in the development of
    concrete material.These coconut fibres are easily
    available in large quantity and are also cheap.
    § The introduction of coconut fibres&coconut shells are
    solutions to develop concrete with enhanced the
    engineering properties such as compressive strength and
    also is a new form of binder that could combine
    Portland cement in bonding with cement.
    OBJECTIVES

    To study the engineering properties of coconut shells and coconut fibre


    concrete.
    To design concrete mix for class of M20 or M30 .
    To determine slump of coconut shell and coconut fibre with that of mixed
    proporations.
    Finally, to conduct compressive strength on cubes.
    ADVANTAGES
    Ø It provides good workbility conditions for speed
    construction
    Ø It promotes green construction
    Ø Coconut shells are more resistant towards crushing,impact
    & abrasion
    Ø Production of light weight concrete
    Ø Producing economic concrete by reducing the cost of
    material
    Ø Addition of cocnut fibre improves the compressive
    strength,flexural strength&split tensile strength of concrete
    Ø It reduces the weight of concrete
