In the construction, the cost of building materials are rising day by day.the use of alternative material is a partial replace of coarse aggregate in solving part of natural aggregate. The various waste materials are used such as coconut shell, cockle shell, periwinkle shell, foundry sand etc. so here in my project I will use coconut shell waste as replacement of coarse aggregate by different percentage for making concrete of different grade like M-20. Concrete made from coconut shell waste as coarse aggregate will be studied for compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength. the percentage replacement will be 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% with natural coarse aggregates and replacement of 10% various size of coconut shell in concrete. the replacement 10% of coconut shell and added coir fibre on high temperature. I will prepare cubes, cylinders, beams and finally slump test, tensile strength test, compressive strength test, split tensile strength test and flexural strength test will be conducted to obtain the results. A large no. of trial mixes are required to select the desired optimum replacement of coarse natural aggregate by coconut shell waste material.
