. Ashish Kant Ahirwar, Sapana Madan & Vivek Soni


Abstract

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in civil engineering because of its high structural strength and stability. To find a suitable and effective material from the waste product that would considerably minimize the use of material and ultimately reduce

the construction cost.

Coconut shell is one of the principal supporters of contamination issue as an agrarian waste. Coconut shell utilized as coarse total in concrete supported reasonable and earth accommodating material in the development field for the creation of lightweight underlying cement. The substantial with ground coconut shell was viewed as sturdy concerning its opposition in water, acidic, basic and pungent. Thickness of coconut shell is in the scope of 550 - 650 kg/m3 and these are inside as far as possible for lightweight total. Thickness, usefulness, compressive strength and split rigidity of the cements diminishes with

expansion in percent of Coconut shells. Penetrable voids, retention and sorption are expanded with expansion in coconut shells percent. Supplanting of coarse total with identical load of fly debris had no impact when it is contrasted and properties of coconut shell supplanted concrete.

In this paper present literature review related to utilization of coconut shell and GGBS in concrete.
