Properties of Concrete partially replaced with Coconut Shell as Coarse aggregate and Steel fibres in addition to its Concrete volume

Abstract. Cement is a binder material with various composition of Concrete but instantly it
posses low tensile strength. The study deals with mechanical properties of that optimized fiber
in comparison with conventional and coconut shell concrete.The accumulation of fibers
arbitrarily dispersed in the composition increases the resistance to cracking, deflection and
other serviceability conditions substantially. The steel fiber in extra is one of the revision in
coconut shell concrete and the outcome of steel fiber in coconut shell concrete was to
investigate and compare with the conventional concrete. For the given range of steel fibe
from 0.5 to 2.0% , 12 beams and 36 cylindrical specimens were cast and tested to find the
mechanical properties like flexural strength, split tensile, impact resistance and the modulus of
elasticity of both conventional and coconut shell concrete has been studied and the test consequences are compared with the control concrete and coconut shell concrete for M25 Grade. It is fulfilled that, the steel fibers used in this venture has shown significant development in all the properties of conventional and coconut shell concrete while compared to controlled conventional and coconut shell concrete like, Flexural strength by 6.67 % for 1.0 % of steel fiber in conventional concrete and by 5.87 % for 1.5 % of steel fiber in coconut shell concre
