Abstract

Nature resources such as river sand and coarse aggregate are depleting at an alarming level in developing countries like India From study. The high demand for concrete in the construction using normal weight aggregates such as gravel and granite drastically reduces the natural stone deposits and this has damaged the environment thereby causing ecological imbalance. Therefore, there is a need to explore and to find out suitable replacement material to substitute the natural stone. In developed countries, the construction industries have identified many artificial and natural lightweight aggregates (LWA) that have replaced conventional aggregates thereby reducing the size of structural members. This has brought immense change in the development of high rise structures using LWC. . The coconut shell was used as a Replacement of coarse aggregate. The quantity of coconut shell is 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% replacement by coarse aggregate and cubes were casted and crushed in order to investigate the compressive strength .use of coconut shell as a substitute of aggregate will be not only is cost effective and eco friendly, but also help to resolve the problem of disposal of shortage of conventional material such as coarse aggregate.
