The document discusses using coconut shell aggregate in concrete. It presents the results of a mini project that tested the engineering properties and performance of concrete with coconut shell aggregate replacement. Members tested properties of conventional aggregates, coconut shell aggregate, and M20 concrete mixes with 0-35% coconut shell replacement. Testing included compressive, split tensile and flexural strength at 7 and 28 days. Results showed the optimum replacement was 15%, with strengths comparable to conventional concrete. The conclusion was that coconut shell aggregate can be used to produce lightweight concrete.
