Abstract

Growing by fast rate, leading to a whole new jungle of concrete, thus enhancing the requirement of the natural aggregate cement. This research is the investigation for examining the effect of coconut cover and coal on compressive strength of concrete. For completing the objective of the study, Coconut COVER has been added in the concrete with the variation of 5%, 10% and 15 % by the weight of the coarse aggregates and 20 % fly ash have partially replaced cement in the mix. Fly ash is a waste material which is generated by burning of coal in power plant. Different samples with varying percentages of coal and coconut COVER have been prepared keeping water to binder ratios as 0.45 and 0.42 for calculating the compressive strength results have been compared with the controlled specimens.
