  • Abstract:
  • In this experimental study, an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative is proposed by partially replacing conventional coarse aggregate with coconut shell an agricultural waste material abundantly available in tropical regions. Concrete specimens were prepared and tested for compressive strength workability (slump test), and density. Additionally, it allows for intricate designs and complex shapes, expanding its usability in construction and design industries. This paper explores the composition, manufacturing process, benefits, and potential applications of CS, highlighting its innovative role in modern construction. The industrial wastes produced by industries create serious problems. Although the concrete is the most popular construction material, it has some limited properties, low tensile strength, low ductility, low energy absorption, and shrinkage, cracking associated with hardening and curing. The coconut shell included in concrete was subjected compressive strength tested for 7, 14and 28 days
