Experimental Analysis of Concrete with Partial Replacement by Coconut Components

As now days the cost of construction materials are very high so it is necessary to find out some alternative materials in the construction field. In this research work we are using coconut shell ash as cement and coconut shell as coarse aggregate with some percentage of replacement, along with this coconut fiber is also used to improve the split tensile strength of concrete. In this study M 20 grade of concrete is prepared in which cement is partially replaced by 0, 5, 10, 15 & 20 percent with coconut shell ash, coarse aggregate is partially replaced by 0, 5, 10, 15 & 20 percent with coconut shell and adding fiber content to be 4 percent (by weight of cement). A total of 30 cubes, 20 cylinders and 30 cubes with 16mm bar were made and cured by immersing them in water for seven and twenty eight days. And these specimens are tested for Compressive Strength, Split Tensile Strength, Bond Strength and density of concrete is also tested. The density test is conducted for analyzing the light weight property of the concrete.
