Mechanical properties of concrete containing coconut shell as coarse aggregate replacement / Muhamad Azffar Irham Mat Zain ... [et al.]

The increase in the price of traditional construction materials is a serious issue. Concrete, which is made of cement, sand, coarse aggregate, and water, is widely used as a building material. However, an increase in concrete production has certain negative consequences for the environment, such as...

The properties of fresh and hardened concrete with coconut shell as coarse aggregate replacement were determined at 7, 14, and 28 days of curing ages. The results showed that concrete with coconut shell as a coarse aggregate replacement had a positive impact on workability, porosity, density, and UPV but not on compressive and tensile strength.

It can be used as lightweight concrete. Using coconut shell as a replacement for aggregate is not only cost-effective and environmentally friendly, but it also helps solve the problem of conventional material shortages, such as coarse aggregate. It can also help to solve the problem of waste disposal. 2024-03 Article PeerReviewed text en https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/93580/1/93580.pdf Mechanical properties of concrete containing coconut shell as coarse aggregate replacement / Muhamad Azffar Irham Mat Zain ...
