Abstract
One alternative for environmentally friendly construction is to utilize discarded materials. An experimental examination was carried out in this paper to measure the compressive strength, flexural strength, load, and displacement of concrete specimens utilizing coconut shell waste as coarse aggregate after it was crushed to make lightweight concrete. The current research has used coconut shell waste in concrete as a partial replacement for coarse aggregate in various percentages, i.e., at 25% coconut shell with 0%SAP, 25% Coconut shell with 0.5% of SAP, 25% coconut shell with 1% of SAP, 25% coconut shell with 1.5% of Super absorbent polymer, 25% coconut shell with 2% of a super absorbent polymer. Various material tests were performed, including sieve analysis, specific gravity, water absorption, and bulk density test. The concrete specimens’ further tests of compressive strength, flexural strength, Deflection, Stress, Strain, and Modulus of elasticity, as well as crack breadth, will be determined after 28 days of curing. The amount of super absorbent polymer that should be used on the compressive strength.
